As of August 10, 2020, you will no longer be able to select WesternUnion as a new form of payment.

Google AdSense mentioned that it no longer supports Western Union because it wants to be able to invest more in other convenient electronic payment methods.
There are several other ways you can get your earnings, but these methods vary from country to country and the most common is transferring money through a bank account or sending a check to your address via local postal services.
There are no exceptions for AdSense accounts regarding this update, so the implementation of the decision will be applied to everyone in early 2021, and the notice will be placed for publishers in other languages, including Arabic.
