Adding a bank account

  1. Sign in to YCS. If you manage multiple properties, select one from Listings.
  2. Go to Finance >> Payout accounts.
  3. Click Add account.
  4. Enter the required details into the form in English characters.

    Special characters such as = ! “ $ % & : * < > ; , # { } [ ] \ _ ^ | ~ @) will not be accepted. If your bank account details contain “&”, please replace it with “and”.

  5. Click Choose File to upload the required documents.
  6. Review your details, then click Submit.

Once you’ve added your bank account, it will be listed under Bank accounts as Pending while it undergoes verification. We’ll reach out to you via email within 5 business days to inform you if your account is approved or if additional documents are required. If you want to add more accounts, repeat the steps above. If you do not receive any update from us regarding the verification of your bank account within 5 business days, please send a follow-up email to biz@agoda.com.

Assigning a bank account to your property

The bank account you add will be automatically assigned to your property if there are no other accounts listed. You can check which account is assigned to your property under Property payout details. If your property has no account assigned or you want to change the account, you can do so at any time.

  1. Sign in to YCS. If you manage multiple properties, select one from Listings.
  2. Go to Finance >> Payout accounts.
  3. Click the three dots next to the property you want to assign a new account to, then select Assign new account.
  4. Select the account you want to use to receive payouts.
  5. Click Confirm.

Assigning an approved bank account to all your listings

If you have listed multiple properties on Agoda that receive payouts by bank transfer, you can quickly assign an existing account to all of them at once. This can be done from Payout accounts.

The bank account you want to assign must be approved by Agoda before you can take this action. The account will only be assigned to the properties in your Listings that are set to receive payouts by bank transfer.

  1. Sign in to YCS. If you manage multiple properties, select one from Listings.
  2. Go to Finance >> Payout accounts.
  3. Click the three dots next to the bank account you want to use, then select Assign to all properties.
  4. Review your selected account, then click Confirm.
