How payouts work
Real money, verified before you ever hand over your gear
Renter pays by bank slip
The renter transfers the rental plus a refundable deposit to MGR and uploads their slip. We verify it before confirming.
Gear is collected
Once the renter picks up (or you deliver) the gear, the booking is locked in and your payout is queued.
We pay out to you
Your payout — the rental minus 2% commission — lands in your BML or MIB account within a few business days.
2% commission
On the rental only — never on the deposit or delivery fee.
BML or MIB payouts
Paid in MVR straight to your local bank account.
Paid after pickup
Released once the renter collects, within a few business days.
How slip verification protects you
We’ll be straight with you: MGR uses bank-slip payments, not card processing. That means a renter has to actually transfer money to MGR and upload their slip. Our team checks the reference code, the destination account and that the amount matches the rental plus deposit before the booking is confirmed.
For you, that’s the point — you never hand over gear on an unverified promise. Most slips clear within a few hours, and you see the confirmed booking in your dashboard the moment it’s verified.
Read the verification rulesHow deposits cover your gear
Every booking carries a refundable security deposit that you set per listing. MGR holds it for the whole rental — the renter never gets it back automatically until the gear is returned and you’ve had a chance to check it.
You have a 48-hour return-inspection window to confirm everything’s fine or raise a claim with photos. Genuine damage beyond fair wear, loss, or missing items can be recovered from the deposit — fair wear and tear never can.
How deposits & refunds workOwner questions, answered
How much commission does MGR take?
A flat 2% of the rental subtotal. There's no commission on the refundable deposit or on any delivery fee you set. Listing itself is completely free — you only pay when you earn.
When exactly do I get paid?
After the renter has collected the gear, your payout is released to your nominated BML or MIB account and typically arrives within a few business days. The deposit is never part of your payout — it's held separately and returned to the renter after the return inspection.
What if a renter damages or loses my gear?
Every booking includes a refundable security deposit that MGR holds for the whole rental. If gear comes back damaged beyond fair wear, lost, or with missing items, you raise a claim with photos within the 48-hour return-inspection window and recover the reasonable cost — up to the deposit amount.
How does slip verification protect me?
Renters can't just click 'pay'. They transfer real money to MGR and upload a bank slip, which our team verifies — checking the reference code, the destination account and that the amount matches the rental plus deposit. A booking is only confirmed once the money is real, so you never hand over gear on an empty promise.
Can I choose who rents my gear?
Yes. Set your listing to 'request to book' and you approve each renter before it's confirmed, or 'instant book' for hands-off bookings. Either way the renter is ID-verified first.
What can I list?
Anything adventure or water-sports related that you own and can legally rent in the Maldives — dive and snorkel kit, kayaks, paddleboards, jet skis, surfboards, drones, cameras, camping gear and bikes.
