How can i use adsense?

I have a site that is starting to pick up organic traffic. I would like to apply for an adsense account. Thing is, im in the UK and currently unemployed. My plan is to go self employed once i have enough stable income coming in. I have no idea how much the site will make if i get accepted in to adsense but i cant put the money into my bank just now. I believe the only way they pay is via bank transfer?. Can i apply with my real name and make the payouts go to a family members bank etc then change the bank details when i go self employed?

I remember that the only way for withdraw is check. How much traffic do you have?

I think first you need is to see if you are getting enough traffic for adsense income. And I am not sure if the only way is through bank account, I think you can receive through PayPal as well. But please check this, I am not really sure about PP.

There are two options for receiving payments from adsense:
- Check
- Wire Bank Transfer

If you can't receive money on your bank account, you should create an adsense account with the name of a family member so they will be able to receive the payment. You can't create an account with your name and then send the payment to a family member.

Ah ok was not sure about that. Say i used a family member name and put adsense on there. Then after a while i wanted to create my own and use it on the site. I would obviously remove the family members account from my site first but would i be able to apply for adsense using the site again or would that cause a red flag?
