At Icnea we’re pleased to welcome a new partner that will help our customers to easily manage their security deposits for vacation rentals. We introduce Swikly!
Swikly is a solution that helps to automatically manage the security deposits for each booking, so that the manager does not have to do it manually every time. This allows for more agile business management and provides peace of mind for the manager knowing that the accommodation is insured against any damage or incident.
How does the integration with Swikly help Icnea’s users?
Online and automated security deposit management: with Swikly managers can forget about managing manually the security deposits. Its system takes care of every necessary process such as the deposit request, automated reminder emails, payment method cancellation.
Easy and secure deposits for guests: security deposits with Swikly are not charged or blocked on guests credit cards freeing them from any bank limits that may restrict them during their holiday, improving their experience. Swikly will only charge a partial or complete amount of the security deposit to the guest’s card in the event of real damage in the accommodation.
Customer support for guests and hosts: in case of a dispute or need for assistance Swikly manages the situation with their multilingual team available for assistance by email or phone.
