Payment Options in Indonesia - IDR currency and accepting anything else apart from Credit Card?

Hi, 

 

Have been a host here for quite some time. I love AirBNB btw, but, it seems unfair for Indonesian guest to getting rental quotation in US$? Imagine you are in US but have to use Chinese Yuan to rent a place in New York.

 

Also, the only payment Payoneer in Indonesiaaccept is Credit Card ? Indonesia penetration rate is only ~5%. Most Indonesians use different payment methods - bank transfers, wallets and payment at convenience stores.

 

I have complained so many times to AirBNB on this, seriously.

 

There is even a petition going on - https://www.change.org/p/airbnb-airbnb-put-back-idr-indonesian-rupiah-in-the-supported-payment-curre...

 

Is the company seriously going to abandoned the Indonesian market due to these minor issue?

 

There are other payment gateway providers than Payoner than can serve the Indonesian market....
