usually someone else who is in a country where google can pay them (Somalia not included in these countries and some others) handles their adsense account and then the money is sent to them via xawala.
In 2015, a bank (Premier Bank) was set up in Somalia in partnership with Mastercard, which has allowed Somalis to open up formal bank accounts with Mastercard debit cards. This particular banking company has branches all over the country. Since then, there has been another bank (IBS) that has opened up that also provides formal banking
