When a payout cannot be transferred successfully, Hospitable displays a failure message in your payout history explaining the issue.
In most cases, the funds are not lost. Failed payouts usually retry automatically after the underlying issue is resolved.
This article explains common payout failure messages, what causes them, and how to resolve them.
Where to Find Payout Failure Messages
To review payout failures:
Go to Settings → Payments & Payouts → Payouts
Locate the failed payout marked with a red banner
Expand the payout details to view the failure reason
You can also use the Contact support button directly from the failed payout.
“Your Hospitable Balance Was Lower Than the Payout Amount When We Attempted the Transfer.”
What This Means
At the time Hospitable attempted to send the payout, your available balance did not contain enough funds to cover the transfer amount.
Why This Happens
This is commonly caused by:
Refunds
Chargebacks
Cancellation adjustments
Other balance corrections made after the payout was scheduled
What to Do
This issue requires review by the Hospitable team.
Open the failed payout in Payout history
Click Contact support
Our team will review your balance activity, identify what caused the shortfall, and either retry the payout or explain the discrepancy.
“Your Bank Rejected Previous Payouts to This Account, So Transfers to It Have Been Blocked.”
What This Means
One or more previous payouts were rejected by your bank.
To prevent additional failed transfers, payouts to that account have been temporarily blocked.
Why This Happens
Common reasons include:
The bank account was closed
The account is frozen or restricted
The account holder name does not match
The bank does not support the payout currency
What to Do
Open the failed payout in Payout history
Click Contact support
If you already know the bank account is no longer usable, you can first add a new account under:
Settings → Payments & Payouts → Bank Accounts
This may help speed up the resolution process.
“Your Account Verification Is Incomplete.”
What This Means
Your identity verification process is incomplete.
Hospitable is required to complete KYC (Know Your Customer) verification before payouts can be processed.
How to Resolve It
Go to Settings → Payments & Payouts → Bank Accounts
Open the payout method marked as Needs verification
Click the three dots (...) → Verify Bank Account
Complete the verification form
Verification usually completes within 1–2 business days.
Once verification is approved, failed payouts are typically retried automatically within 24 hours.
Common verification requirements include:
Government-issued ID
Proof of address
Business information
Beneficial owner details
Bank account verification menu in Hospitable showing the Verify Bank Account option
If your verification documents are rejected or verification cannot be completed, contact Hospitable Support.

“We Can't Send Payouts in This Currency to the Configured Bank Account.”
What This Means
Your bank account does not support receiving payouts in the currency being sent.
Why This Happens
This commonly occurs when:
Booking payouts use a different currency than the bank account
The bank account only supports domestic transfers
The bank does not accept international transfers
Example:
EUR payouts sent to a USD-only bank account
What to Do
Open the failed payout in Payout history
Click Contact support
In many cases, the solution is to add a bank account that supports the payout currency.
To add a new account:
Go to Settings → Payments & Payouts → Bank Accounts

“We Couldn't Find the Bank Account on File With Our Payment Provider.”
What This Means
Hospitable’s payment provider does not have a valid bank account associated with your payout method.

The account was removed
The account details were replaced
The bank account was not fully registered
What to Do

Our team may ask you to re-add your bank details so they can be properly synced with the payment provider.
