Swikly

What problem does Swikly solve?

Vacation rental managers who want a security deposit have to choose between cash and cheques, which are awkward to collect and return, or a card charge that ties up a guest's money and irritates them before they arrive. Skipping the deposit altogether leaves damage uncovered.

What does Swikly do?

Swikly collects security deposits online for vacation rental professionals. The guest commits an amount, but it is neither debited nor blocked on their bank account and it does not reduce their card limit. Money moves only if the host actually claims it.

How does Swikly work?

Deposit requests go out by email or automatically from a connected property management system. The guest confirms online. Arrival and departure are documented through an independent photo inventory. If everything is in order, the card imprint is cancelled automatically. If there is damage, the host collects all or part of the amount, and a premium option covers reimbursement.

Who is Swikly for?

Vacation rental owners, agencies and property managers, plus campsites, vehicle rental firms, equipment hire businesses and healthcare providers.
