Google AdSense releases payment to all users on the 21st of every month. However, many people are reportedly seeing an error of ‘Automatic payment pending: Wire transfer to bank account’.
Users are confused as to why their payments are not shown as processed, even after reaching the payment threshold.
AdSense bug shows ‘Automatic payment pending: Wire transfer to bank account’
Multiple users are seeing the same error on their Google AdSense accounts’ payment transactions section.

“Hi it shows automatic payment is pending, when it will release? please help,” a user posted on the Google support forum.
Even after clicking the error, nothing happens. The start and end balances are also the same amount, indicating that no money has been sent to the bank account.
“Automatic payment pending: Wire transfer to bank account payment mail also not received,” another user reported.
Even those who don’t see the payment in pending, have not received an email or notification for the wire transfer.
Users receive wire transfer payments despite the error
When you go to Google Adsense earnings or Youtube Adsense earnings, and you have sufficient earnings, then your payment must have been released.
A lot of users are receiving their payments without getting any notifications or emails for the transaction.
Go to your Payments info and view transactions, you will see the same error. But if you check your bank account, you will see your payment credited.
“You get paid out monthly! Once you’ve linked an active AdSense acct w/ your channel + the payment exceeds the local threshold, you’ll see the cash coming in around the 21st of every month,” Youtube replied to a user’s tweet.
Apparently, the bug has been around for many years and confuses users. Most wire transfers also take around 5 days to reach bank accounts, so users should wait for a few days. If they still don’t receive their payment, then they should reach out to the Google support team.
