Frequently Asked Questions

Is there any cost to me as a host or agent?

No. The $50 Wediate fee is paid by the renter as part of their deposit transfer. There is no charge to hosts or agents.

What if the renter refuses to release the funds?

If there is a dispute, Wediate holds the funds while the matter is reviewed. The same neutral holding that protects renters also protects hosts — funds are not returned without review.

Can I use Wediate for multiple properties?

Yes. One Wediate Rentals account covers all your properties. Each booking gets its own transaction reference.

How quickly are funds released?

Once the renter approves via the Wediate platform, the release is processed promptly. Funds typically appear within 1–2 business days depending on your bank.
