A few weeks ago, Adsense publishers in India were happy over Google’s decision to add the world’s second most popular country to her list of countries with “ETF” capabilities. Fast forward to this moment and the search giant has finally included Nigeria to her “ETF” enabled countries.
What this means is that, Adsense publishers in Nigeria will now be able to receive their earnings directly into their bank accounts. This eliminates two disturbing barriers; missing cheques and delay in payment processing. Publishers who choose secure delivering usually paid the expenses from their earnings for courier services and also had to get a deduction from their banks for “cheque processing fee”. The “secure delivering” option has been discontinued altogether with Google’s new payment update for Nigeria.

How To Set Up Adsense Wire Transfer For Nigerians
Basically, you will need to visit your bank or call their help lines to acquire your bank’s SWIFT-BIC – a unique identification code for a particular bank and it is a standard format of Bank Identifier Codes (BIC).
Once you have the SWIFT-BIC, on your Adsense Dashboard, Navigate to Payment >> Payment Settings >> Add a New Form of Payment.
You will be required to submit Your SWIFT-BIC, Your Account Holder’s Name, Your Bank Name, and Your Account Number in a form that the Adsense team would use in initiating and establishing a “Wire Transfer” directly to your bank account.
That’s about it, and it’s thanks to Google and the Adsense team for making Google Adsense Wire Transfer in Nigeria a reality.
