Place a self-hold and reduce banking fees

Tired of losing a large percentage of every AdSense check to bank processing fees? As I mentioned in my last post, if you're outside the US and receive USD checks, you can let your earnings accrue and then receive larger checks less frequently by placing a self-hold on your account. This will help reduce the overall impact of any check processing fees charged by your bank.



Should you decide to experiment with this option, please keep in mind that changes to your hold status must be in place by the 15th of each month. For example, in order to let your earnings accrue or to remove self-holds for a June payment, you need to make the change by June 15th.

If you haven't done so already, I also encourage you to subscribe to the AdSense Calendar where you can find information about our monthly payment schedule.
