Hi All, I'm also new to hosting on airbnb. I have signed up with exchange4free and have received payments made by South African guests within a couple of days.
The e-mail they sent me has the following at the bottom...
Exchange4free is authorised by the Financial Conduct Authority (FCA) in the United Kingdom under the payment services regulations 2009, and is an authorised financial services provider regulated by the Financial Services Board (FSB) in South Africa.
Had no such luck with international guests. I've phone the call centre and they keep telling me that my name is not on their payments list for today....same story everyday for a week. Can someone please tell me how long it takes for international transfers to clear. Payout method is Bank Transfer. I bank with ABSA. Thanks
