We’re excited to announce the launch of our new industry leading PCI solution to credit card crime, PCI Wallet. We have worked together with a leading technical company to create a product which will reduce risk of credit card data theft from your vacation rental property company.
Credit Card Data is a hot topic in the hospitality industry right now, as hacking is rising at unprecedented levels, leaving your vacation rental property company and your guests at risk.
Customers continue to be nervous about giving credit card information online, with yearly increases in web crime. In 2014, over 38% of major security breaches were in the travel and hospitality sector*. Providing guests with reassurance on what happens to their information is a boost to any vacation rental property company.
But it’s not only your customer which needs protection. Any holiday rental property company handling credit card information is a target for cybercrime, leading to financial loss through fines, court cases and compensation, significant embarrassment and damage to your hard earned brand. So holiday rental property companies need to protect themselves too.
