Payout received in a different currency as Cash Payment.

[Sam5329]

I received a payout today from Airbnb, however I noticed the money was received as a cash deposit by an individual rather than by a wire transfer from World Pay. 

Payment was received by Opay, and currency valuation difference in real exchange value is around $100, did anyone face this issue, especially in Egypt?

@Sam5329 check the box where you say which currency you both charge in and want to be paid in. If it is not the host countries currency then you will lose money . H

Hi @Sam5329 

I had the same issue with my last 6 reservations, tried different accounts as well, but had the same problem. Got them through OPAY and other entities as well.

Airbnb  customer support was no help as well, please let me know if you figured it out.
