FBC Mastercard

If you run AdSense through a website or YouTube in Zimbabwe. The best way to get paid is through FBC MasterCard offered by FBC bank. I received my first payout from Youtube via the card. Another use case for the FBC card is that you can use it to make payments online. You can apply for a bank card from FBC bank, The card application fee should be less than $10.00USD.Once you get your card from FBC, they will provide the card details and you use the card details on your AdSense account so that you get paid into the card. Below is the video that explains the process.
