Default payout account

I want to make sure that the payouts are going into my account ending in 5783.   The other one that I used before appears to be the default account.  There is no way to change the default account, so please do not tell me to do that.  I have tried everything.

 

 

I want one simple answer.  Into what account will my future payouts (end of March guest)  be going?

Hi @Beth8,

 

The people here answering questions are other Airbnb hosts and cannot know which accounts your money is going to be deposited in.  You may need to contact Airbnb directly: https://community.airbnb.com/t5/Tips-Tricks/Contact-Airbnb-A-Community-Help-Guide/m-p/16165#M728

 

I will try to help you though.  If you have more than one account, one of them will have "default" beside it.  If you want to change the default account, choose "Options" and the "Make default" beside the account you want to make the default.  See the screenshot below.  In this example, I am making the Paypal account default.

Hello Dave,

 

Thank you for indirectly helping me solve the default payout setting.

Easy as 1,2,3 ...WHEN you know where to look.

 

I was about to get really upset. 

 

Cheers,

Hello, 

Sorry for diletant question but I am new here and I even don't know what does default account mean. I have 1 account and one western union, I want airbnb to tranfer money by western union but it's written that it is dafault. Should I change it and make another account default so to be able to recieve money by wetern union? 

Thanks in advance for the answer. 

You're a champion Dave. Thanks.

Greetings! I'm hosting again since the 5th of August and the second group is in already. But I just realized the last two deposits were made to the wrong bank account. I included two. Last year I had set up the other one as the default account and Airbnb changed it on its own. I wonder if this happens a lot. How often do I need to check the default bank account before I accept any new guests? I thought once you set it it's set! 

I guess the solution is to delete one of them...

Thanks,

Olivia

I have the same problem with payout, it takes 5th days now I didn't receive a coin so I wander how it works this payout method and while airbnb says they already did the transaction to my account and even when I call my bank account, they can't find it yet....
