1The problem

A single deposit for every case is rarely the right choice.

We often talk about a "deposit" as if it were a single reality. Yet behind that word lie very different needs.

A property management company must protect an asset it does not own, dealing with travelers it does not know. A vehicle rental operator must protect an asset it owns against damage or unpredictable usage costs. A private individual renting out their own home must also secure their property without having the same tools as a professional. A healthcare practitioner, meanwhile, must secure fees whose final amount is only known after the consultation.

Every business has its own constraints, its own risks, its own definition of what a good deposit should cover.
2The solution

4 types of deposit. One for every situation.

Swikly is one of the few players in the market to offer 4 types of deposit suited to every situation and level of risk.

The card hold

For everyday use. Your customer registers their card as security, without any amount being debited or blocked. This has no impact on their card limit.

The guaranteed card hold

For enhanced protection. In the event of a claim, the amount is covered by an insurance policy, even if the customer’s card cannot be charged.

The pre-authorization

7 or 30 days. Blocks a specific amount on the card for a set period, ideal for short-term rentals, it ensures the availability of funds without an immediate charge.

The escrow

For high-value items over long periods. The amount is actually debited and held in a dedicated account until the item is returned.

And if you don’t know
Where to start?

Whatever your sector, the Swikly team analyzes your situation to recommend the type of deposit best suited to your business. And because the level of risk varies from one situation to another, Swikly also lets you filter the types of cards accepted: you can exclude low-coverage cards for high-stakes cases, and so make sure the protection is real from the moment of the deposit. Are your needs changing? You can adjust your type of deposit at any time from your dashboard.
