Payment details

How does the Airbnb payment system work?

Airbnb is a new way of doing business in an age-old industry. The vacation rental industry has always been vulnerable to risks and uncertainty. Airbnb’s system is designed to give you peace of mind..

For your booking the payment method is Bank-to-Bank Wire Transfer, also known as bank transfer. The payment is processed and collected by Airbnb in full.* Whether the reservation is two days or two months away, we hold the payment until 24 hours after check-in before giving it to the host. This gives both parties time to do a walkthrough upon check-in and make sure that everything is as expected.
The payment has to be sent by bank transfer to one of our holding accounts:

Bank Name: Barclays Bank
Account Holder Name: Albert Dvorak
IBAN : GB13BARC20100343060608
BIC : BARCGB22
Sort Code : 20-10-03

Yes it is, Airbnb do not operate outside of their website (no adverts on other sites) and do not take payments by bank transfer to random accounts or hold payments in escrow for people who are renting.
