Rover partners with Stripe, a payment services provider, to secure financial services. Stripe is a certified PCI Service Provider Level 1, this is the most stringent level of certification available in the payments' industry.

We release funds to your Rover account 2 days after a booking ends. Stripe will automatically send your payment to your bank account within 3-5 working days of completing the booking. This means that you can expect your payment between 3-7 working days after the booking ends.
