Last week I wrote an article concerning Google Adsense Payment Delayed, with a hope by Monday 26 which Cyber Monday will this issue resolved.  Most of the publishers around the world are still confused. Then I went to  Google Product Forums to witness if this issue was only with my account,  I was surprised to see many publishers are complaining about the same problem. Many asked why many payments from Google were pending. Generally, Bank transfer to bank account payments from Google Adsense are processed on the 21st, and to get to the account can be 1-3 working days, depending on the bank of each. If it falls on Saturday or Sunday, it might take longer.



Reason Why Automatic payment pending: Bank transfer to bank account xxxx

Look at the picture below Adsense account there is a "pending automatic payment."




Thanksgiving day in America might be the reason why Google delayed payments. Black Friday and Cyber Monday make the payment process on Google busier than a usual possible by the end of these two most prominent events payments will be released.


Is this a right time to worry about this?

Google is one of the respectable company with a good track record of payment publishers well in the world.  For my side, I see no need to worry until the end of November the payments can be processed from 21-30. 


What did Google say about this payment delays?

Immediately when I noticed my payment was not paid on the date I usually get paid, I went to the internet to see there is no one experiencing the same problem. I found more and more people got the same concern.  Then I look for Google official statement no luck didn't see any this from Google headquarters Mountain View, California, USA. 


Is the first time Google delay payment?

Looking at my Google Adsense payments history, I can't witness any issue similar to this one. But look over the internet I see something similar happen to some publishers in October 2017 and April 2018.

Update: 27 November 2018
