Airbnb connects travellers with unique global spaces, but navigating prices in various currencies can be confusing. Luckily, you can easily change Airbnb’s default currency to one you’re more familiar with.

Changing your display currency only affects how prices are shown on Airbnb. Your payment method and Airbnb’s policies might still determine the actual transaction currency.

This article discusses how to change the currency in the Airbnb mobile app and on the Airbnb website in a few simple and easy steps.
