Linking your bank account to Google AdSense in 2026 is a straightforward process, but it requires meeting a specific earning threshold first. Here is the step-by-step guide to adding your bank details (Wire Transfer or EFT) to receive payments.

1. Check Your Threshold

Before you can add a bank account, your "Balance" must reach the Payment Method Selection Threshold.

  • For USD: You must have at least $10 in your finalized balance.

  • For INR (India): You usually need to reach ₹1,000 (equivalent to approx. $10).

  • Note: If you haven't reached this amount, the "Add Payment Method" button will be hidden.

2. Information You Will Need

Make sure you have these details from your bank:

  • Account Holder Name: (Exactly as it appears on your bank statement).

  • Bank Name: (Full name of the bank).

  • IFSC Code: (For Indian users, found on your checkbook or passbook).

  • SWIFT-BIC: (Essential for international wire transfers. You can get this from your bank’s branch or their official website).

  • Account Number: (Your full bank account number).

3. Steps to Add the Bank Account

Follow these steps on your computer or mobile browser:

  1. Sign In: Go to google.com/adsense and log in.

  2. Navigate to Payments: On the left-hand sidebar, click on Payments > Payments info.

  3. Choose Account: If you have separate accounts for "AdSense" and "YouTube," select the correct one from the drop-down menu at the top.

  4. Add Method: Click on Add payment method.

  5. Select Type: Choose Add new wire transfer details (common for India/International) or Add new EFT details (common for US/UK).

  6. Enter Details: Fill in your name, bank name, IFSC, SWIFT code, and account number accurately.

  7. Set as Primary: Check the box "Set as primary payment method" to ensure your earnings are sent here automatically.

  8. Save: Click Save.

Important Tips for 2026

  • SWIFT Code Accuracy: Double-check your SWIFT code. Using the wrong one can lead to payment delays or the money being bounced back to Google.

  • Verification: For some regions (like the US), Google might send a small "test deposit" (less than $1) to your account. You will need to check your bank statement and enter that exact amount in AdSense to verify the account.

  • Tax Info: Ensure you have completed your US Tax Info (W-8BEN) in the "Manage Tax Info" section, or Google may hold your payments regardless of your bank link.
