According to Airbnb, they already transferred the money to our bank account. We should check with our bank whether the fund is floating.

When we contacted our bank, according to them there is not floating fund to our account.

The bank asked us to get ARN number from Airbnb to confirm that they did transfer the money.

An acquirer reference number, or ARN, is a unique number created in credit or debit card transactions when it transfers from the merchant’s bank through the payment processor, and to the card holder’s bank. 

These unique digits make your transaction traceable so if an error occurs with the bank or merchant accounts, the information can be found. 

Payment Received

After we informed Airbnb to give us the ARN number. The support agent forwarded our request to another Airbnb agent who was specialist in money transfer problem.
