Transfer the payment in local currence

Hi, I received today from airbnb 270 EUR which is 528 BGN, but they sent me 504 BGN, i.e. 12 EURless? It is written in the letter 270 EUR : We've issued you a payout of лв504.00 via Bank Transfer.

@Alexandra11 - You cannot choose which currency you are paid.  It is based on the location of the billing address: https://www.airbnb.com/help/article/1516/can-i-choose-my-payout-currency

Thank you very much!

We are in Hungary with a Hungarian listing, a U.K. billing address and get paid out in Euro to a German Bank.

Seems so complicated! I'm living in Thailand with Thailand listings and getting paid USD to PayPal and USD to Payoneer and Thai baht to my bank. I used to use only PayPal but I didn't realize I was losing 3% in conversions. I just recently changed all my listings that payout to my bank from USD to Thai baht. I think I won't lose anything anymore on these. I think. I hope... I dream...
