Is it true that Airbnb is bankrupt and does not make payments?

[Iurii13]

The AirBnb rental aggregator does not have the funds to pay homeowners in Montenegro for arrivals already made. The company stopped paying at the end of March and promised to resume payments no earlier than the beginning of June, but this did not happen. The company's financial problems began during the pandemic and worsened after the bankruptcy of the company's branch in China. The company's European office may be separated from a more financially sound American one in order to prevent creditors from going bankrupt the entire company. We recommend that homeowners working with AirBnb cancel their reservations before the season and accept payment from guests in other ways, you will not be able to withdraw money from AirBnb. In order to avoid financial problems, we do not recommend travelers to book through AirBnb, it is advisable to use the services of competitors, @Quincy   @Sybe  @Stephanie  @Catherine-Powell

AirBnb owes me 2400 euros for three months. Do you receive your salary every month? Are you being held back for 3 months?

[Iurii13]

I sincerely wish that you did not see the horror in the eyes of the guests that I saw. And I sincerely wish that you always have the means to help people

@Iurii13  do you have a problem with payouts from all international guests or only with those from Ukraine?

[Anton5285]

I cannot receive payouts from all guests, from all countries. I live in Montenegro and cannot receive payments for 3 months

Montenegro-News talked privately with AirBnb employees, the situation in the company is difficult

AirBnb was on the verge of collapse earlier this year after the pandemic and was about to file for bankruptcy, but the company took advantage of the war in Ukraine and stole money from Russian users. This allowed us to exist for some more time, but the cost of maintaining an IT team is rapidly eating away even these funds. At the moment, the AirBnb management has decided to start stealing the money of homeowners in small countries so that this does not lead to serious media discontent (the code name within the company is Freeze). Therefore, Montenegrin homeowners do not receive payments.

No one knows how long AirBnb can last in this mode, they hope to sell the company to a strategic investor.

At the same time, AirBnb was afraid to steal the money of Chinese users so that the employees of the Chinese office would not be arrested. Chinese employees appealed to the leadership of the head office for the death penalty in China and were heard.

Hi there @Iurii13, once again, I'm very sorry to hear that the issue with receiving your payouts is taking longer than expected. I have chased this up for you ever since, however, as mentioned above, it seems to be taking longer than expected. 

Sadly, it's out of my hands, as I can't look into any information regarding your case. I have given the team another nudge today, but I would recommend that you continue contacting Airbnb (as you have done before).

If a company can't pay homeowners, does that mean that AirBnb is in financial trouble?

We haven't been paid for 3 months and are based in the UK, although some payments are coming through.  No one can give an answer at all. Doesn't matter who you contact. 

[Anton5285]

Because Airbnb is bankrupt and there is no money
