How much does Tribu charge for rentals?

In order for us to provide a seamless experience for our Tribuers, we charge a service fee on the rental transactions of 15% from the Owner. Stripe will also charge the owner a minor fee for the transaction

This means that if an item is rented out for $200/week, the borrower pays $200 and the Owner earns $170.

The service fee is automatically deducted from the Owners earnings.

Important: Tribu does not charge for signing up and creating listings for individuals. It will always be free to do this, we only charge a service fee when a successful transaction takes place. Important: Tribu is free for registered businesses until 31st January 2020. Monthly subscription cost of $20 inclusive of GST will be applied to the account from 1st of February 2020.

Before activating a listing on Tribu, you have to enter your Account Details in your personal dashboard so you receive payments when a rental transaction is successful.
