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)

  1. Open Payments > Settings in AdSense

  2. Correct bank details carefully

  3. Match account holder name exactly

  4. Complete tax and identity verification

  5. Ask your bank if they accept AdSense international payments

  6. 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.
