Hi, 

I just hosted my first guest and my payout is currently on hold. There’s no description on what the issue could be. Kindly advise. 

thanks,

Hi @Ademola8 

If this was your first booking, AirBnB can hold your payment for up to 30 days.

Hi @Ademola8,

Congratulations on hosting your first guest! 🎉 As @Patricia2526 mentioned, for first-time hosts Airbnb may hold the payout for up to 30 days. This is a standard security step and only applies to your very first reservation.

After the initial release, future payouts are usually processed within 24 hours after check-in, depending on your chosen payout method. In the meantime, you can check your Transaction History in the Payouts section of your account to track any updates.

It’s exciting to get that first booking — wishing you many more smooth stays ahead!
