Check your AdSense account type

AdSense offers two types of account: business and individual. You can find your account type by checking your payments profile.

  1. Sign in to your AdSense account.
  2. Click Payments, then Payments info.
  3. Click Manage settings.
  4. In the "Payments profile" section, under "Account type", you can find your account type.

Changing your account type

After you activate your AdSense account as either a business or an individual, you can't change your account type. If you require a different account type, you'll need to cancel your existing AdSense account and open a new account with your preferred account type.
