AdSense payment reversed means Google tried to pay you, but your bank rejected the transfer, so the money went back to your AdSense balance.
This status appears inside Google AdSense under Payments.
What It Is (and What It Is Not)
✅ It is: A failed bank acceptance after payment was sent
❌ It is not: A penalty, earnings loss, or policy violation
Your money is safe.
Fast Reasons Checklist
❌ Wrong bank account number or IFSC/SWIFT
❌ Bank account closed or inactive
❌ Name mismatch between bank and AdSense
❌ Bank rejected international transfer
❌ Unsupported payment method or currency
❌ Pending tax or identity verification
Even one small mismatch can trigger a reversal.
What Happens After Reversal
Money returns to your AdSense balance
Payment status shows Reversed
No automatic re-send in the same month
Google retries payment in the next payout cycle
How to Fix It (Step-by-Step)
Open Payments > Settings in AdSense
Correct bank details carefully
Match account holder name exactly
Complete tax and identity verification
Ask your bank if they accept AdSense international payments
Wait for the next monthly payout
How Long Until You Get Paid Again?
Payment is reissued in the next month’s payout cycle
There is no instant retry after a reversal
Reversed vs Failed (Clear Difference)
Reversed: Payment sent → bank returned it
Failed: Payment never sent
Reversed confirms Google already attempted payment.
AdSense payment reversed is a banking issue, not a Google problem. Fix the payment details once, and future payouts usually go through without trouble.
