The security of your funds is ensured since you will be protected by our Trust and Guest Refund Policies. We will be holding the payment until 24 hours after your check in before we transfer it to your host.


1. Find a location
Locate a convenient MoneyGram Bank location near you.

2. Bring your information
Have your receiver's information, along with the total booking charge you want to send. See our escrow agent payment details below for Bank deposit;

Agent/Receiver's Name: Peter Ononuju
Address: 3530 Travis St
City: Dallas
State: Texas
Zip Code: 75204
Country: United States

3. Send securely
Hand the total booking charge and transaction fees to the Bank agent and your booking payment is on its way. Note: You maybe asked for any form of identification before payment would be processed. So endeavor to visit the Bank location with a valid form of identification.

4. Payment Confirmation
Immediately payment is made, our escrow agent will verify your payment and a certified Airbnb receipt of payment will be sent to you within 24 hours of payment verification. However, you need to send a copy of the payment slip to your host for payment confirmation.

What should I do if someone asks me to pay outside of the Airbnb website?
Airbnb will never ask you to pay off-site or through email. If someone messages you on Airbnb and asks you to contact them off-site to arrange payment details, don't respond, report it to us instead.

Report requests for off-site payment

If a host on the Airbnb site asks you to pay off-site, report it to us by flagging the message—just look for the flag icon in your message thread.

If you receive a personal email from anyone (including an [email protected] or any other [email protected] email address) asking you to pay or accept payment off-site, let us know immediately.

You won't receive a paper or PDF invoice from a host or from Airbnb asking you for payment. Any of the following key words and similar terms should be immediately flagged or avoided: Western Union, MoneyGram, cashier's check, money order, Liberty Reserve.

Any mention of a bank transfer is also a scam.
