Asked for Security Deposit by Host

[Alessandra245]

Hi everybody,

I am in a similar situation. I am asked by Airbnb to transfer the money of the security deposit into the bank account of the host and then send a copy of the transfer bank receipt to them.

Is that normal?

It doesn't seem normal to send the money into the bank account of the host. How can I be sure it will be given back to me then?

Thank you very much for your answer.
