What payment methods does Airbnb accept?
We support different payment methods depending on the country your payment account is located in. So, in addition to major credit and debit cards, certain payment options are available in specific countries or on specific platforms (like the iOS app or Android app).

Offline or cash payments are a violation of our Terms of Service, and can result in removal from Airbnb. We prohibit off-site payments because paying outside of Airbnb makes it harder for us to protect your information and puts you at greater risk of fraud and other security issues.
