The Currencies Accepted are: AUD, BRL, CAD, EUR, GBP, JPY, RUB, USD.

Bank (Wire) Transfers

If none of the options above are available, we can accept Bank Transfers

Notes:

  • We Highly Recommend that you use an automatic payment method in our new Billing Portal
  • This is not recommended as it increases processing time and also most banks take fees out of your bank transfer.

It is critical that you follow the steps below, otherwise, your myfrontdesk account may expire!

Bank Transfers are slow, expensive and can cause delays in updating your account. Please take a moment to review all of our new payment options that are fast, easy and automatic.

If a Bank Transfer payment is your only option, please be aware of the following:

  1. We now require a minimum of 3 months for bank transfer payments. 
  2. You must send the bank transfer at least 1 week prior to your Expiration Date.
  3. Once you complete the bank transfer, please send the payment receipt to billing@cloudbeds.com. Without the receipt, we are not able to update your account accordingly and it might result in account expiration.
  4. Once the full amount has been received and verified by our partner, the funds will be added to your account.
Payment Amounts

We now require a minimum of 3 months for bank transfer payments. We have available; quarterly, six or yearly payment cycles.

Please note that all transactions for myfrontdesk are deposited to the parent company Digital Arbitrage Inc. (formally MX2 Solutions Ltd.)

How to setup the Bank Transfer
  1. Choose Wire Transfer Auto as your payment method (if this payment method is not available for you, please contact billing@cloudbeds.com and we will enable it for you)
  2. Carefully check all the billing instructions
  3. Click on 'Continue'

A note about IBAN

It is common for many banks to use the IBAN format, but United States banks do not have IBAN accounts (you can confirm this here: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/International_Bank_Account_Number).

 

Even if your bank uses and requires an IBAN to receive or transfer funds, the IBAN is not required to transfer funds to our bank.

Please take this information to your local bank, and they can assist you with performing the bank transfer without the IBAN.
