Anyone noticed longer payout times??

[Jeremy656]

Good evening everyone,

      I rent seasonally and am noticing this year my payouts are taking wayyyyyy longer than last year. I am pretty disappointed with this and it makes me think Airbnb may be sitting on everyone’s money to earn additional interest. Are others experiencing longer wait times on payouts compared to last year? I contacted the help app which gave me the standard it takes 5-7 business days blah blah blah. It never took that long last year

@Jeremy656 I’ve also noticed that the payouts are taking  a few days longer to receive.

@Jeremy656  I haven't taken bookings in just over a year, due to Covid and having a home-share listing, so I have no personal experience at this point, but there have been numerous posts here about delayed payouts and I agree with your take- I think they are delaying payments to make sure their accounting shows plenty of money in the coffers and hanging on to a million bucks for a week certainly collects a shwack of interest payments. 

They should be paying hosts interest on delayed payouts, instead of retaining the payments guests have made and using hosts as an interest-free loan dept.

Definitely it takes much longer, 7-10 days in my case here in the UK and it used to clear in my account in 1-2 days.
