Step 3: Verification Process
Confirm Your Account: Airbnb will usually send a small deposit to verify your Coba account.
Check Deposits: Once the deposit appears in your Coba account, return to Airbnb and confirm the amounts to complete the verification.
Step 4. You're Done!
When you see the deposit, means Airbnb was able to link your Coba account. You can now receive payments in USD seamlessly.
Make sure the new Coba Account is setup as your default account.
Recommendations
Use a secure connection: Always use secure Wi-Fi when linking your Coba account. Avoid using public Wi-Fi or 5G networks for financial transactions.
Keep your information private: Do not share your routing and account numbers with anyone. These should only be entered in secure apps like Airbnb.
Use your full legal name: Ensure that the name on your Airbnb account matches your name on Coba to avoid issues during verification.
