Vrbo streamlines the payment process for your vacation rental bookings, ensuring you receive funds directly into your designated bank account.
Understanding Vrbo Payouts
Vrbo handles the collection of payments from guests and then processes these funds before disbursing them to you, the property owner or manager. The timing of your payout can vary based on several factors, including your status as a new partner and your bank's processing times.
Standard Payout Timeline
Once Vrbo initiates a payout, the money is typically deposited into your bank account and becomes available within approximately five to seven business days. This timeframe is an estimate and can be influenced by your specific bank's policies and processing schedules.
Payouts for New Partners
If you are a new Vrbo partner and your very first booking has an arrival date that is less than 30 days away from the booking date, there's a specific payout schedule to be aware of. In such cases, your payout will be sent to your bank account approximately 30 days after the guest's payment was successfully processed. After the payout is sent, the standard 5-7 business day availability window applies.
Ensuring Smooth Payouts
To facilitate timely and uninterrupted payouts from Vrbo, consider the following:
- Verify Bank Details: Always ensure that your bank account information, including account number and routing number, is accurately entered and up-to-date in your Vrbo account settings. Incorrect details can lead to significant delays or failed transfers.
- Monitor Booking and Payout Summaries: Regularly review your booking details and payout summaries within your Vrbo dashboard. This allows you to track confirmed bookings and anticipate when your funds are expected to be sent.
