Why is it taking so long to receive Airbnb Host payments ?

[Siobhan196]

Hello there,

Could you please advise why its taking so long to receive payment on stays?

It used to come into my account 1 day after check in - now its up to 5 days past check out?

Could you please advise?

Many thanks,

Siobhan

@Siobhan196 Don't worry it'll all change soon. My suspicion is that Airbnb is slowing down payments so that they can offer, as they do in the states, next day payment for an additional 1.5% fee. Of course even without compounding this represents an effective  interest rate of 75% so surely most people don't choose it.

Hi @Mike-And-Jane0, thats crazy, why would anyone loose additional percentages in order to be paid what they are owed and in most cases what airbnb have been holding onto for some time.  This is really disappointing. Without Hosts airbnb does not exist.
