Don't just help them rent. Help them grow.
Be the financial partner your hosts need.
Empower hosts to save, spend, and manage directly with Airbnb, right from the tools they already use to administer their rental properties. They’ll thank you by renting more frequently, adding new properties, and treating Airbnb as their preferred rental partner.


Your brand.
Your UI. Real banking products.
Go beyond instant pay.
Prepaid cards can enable instant payments for hosts, but that’s about it. What hosts need is a hub where they can manage their rentals and their finances in a single experience. Offer them:
- A branded Airbnb debit card with powerful cashback rewards for rental-related expenses
- Integrated, fully functional checking accounts that help them manage cashflow and receive funds instantly
- Interest-bearing savings accounts that help them save for major goals, like a new property or renovations
- Tools to manage their business that only you can provide, like bill pay, cash flow projections, and more

Unlock the full potential of
your host relationships.
