Payment Currency

Lesley269 · ‎18-08-2019

Hi,

Does anyone know how to change my payout currency from dollars to pounds?

I have set my currency to GBP but whenever Paypal receives a payout from AirBnB its in dollars, this means that I have to pay a currency conversion fee if I wish to use the money! Not good as I am getting less than I should. Is it possible to get payouts in GBP? If not, why not? AirBnB is a huge company and should be able to make this an option easily.

Please help as the only way forward I can see is to increase my room rate.

Did you by any chance live in the USA at some point.

Perhaps add a UK bank account and make it the default.
