  • To the extent we refer the Guest to a Third Party Vendor for the purchase of Products supplied by that Vendor, it is the Guest’s responsibility to enter into a separate agreement with that vendor for the provision and payment of those Products. In some instances, Staivo receives a commission from a Third Party Vendor for referred Products.

💳 Payment Instructions

For Official Staivo Bank Transfers (EFT)

  1. Locate your official Staivo invoice — it contains your verified payment details.
  2. Confirm the BSB and account number match exactly what’s shown on your invoice.
  3. Open your banking app or online banking portal.
  4. Enter the payment details as listed.
  5. Double-check for accuracy before confirming the transfer.

Payment Oversight Period

Funds are held for 6 days after check-in to ensure your stay meets expectations and the accommodation matches what was advertised.

Stay Safe: Payment Security Guidelines

To protect your payment and avoid delays, please keep these guidelines in mind:

  • Only send funds to accounts provided on your invoice or confirmed through your Guest Dashboard.
  • Some verified owners may use personal savings accounts under our Managed Owner Program — this is normal and fully verified.

🔐 Important Notice About Bank Alerts

For your safety, banks often display alerts such as “New Payee” or “Account name doesn’t match” when you add a new recipient or send a large amount. These alerts are standard anti-fraud measures and do not mean the account is fraudulent. If the BSB and account number match your invoice, you can proceed confidently. Accuracy is critical because funds sent to the wrong account are difficult to recover.

We Will Never:

  • Request payment via social media, text messages, or messaging apps.
  • Send urgent payment instructions outside your Guest Dashboard or official @staivo.com email.

If you receive unexpected or “urgent” payment details, pause and confirm with us before sending funds.
