Curator Hotel and Resort Collection Selects Canary Technologies as a Preferred Vendor for Digital Credit-Card Authorizations
April 28 2022 - 8:53AM
Canary Technologies, which is modernizing the hotel tech stack with
the first fully mobile web end-to-end Guest Management System and
its award-winning Digital Authorizations solution, announced today
that it has been selected as a preferred vendor by Curator Hotel
& Resort Collection (“Curator”) for its Digital Authorizations
solution. Under the agreement, Canary will provide digital credit
card authorizations to support Curator’s collection of independent
lifestyle hotels and resorts.
With Canary’s Digital Authorizations solution, Curator’s member
properties will be able to send each guest a unique link so they
can enter their credit card information through a PCI-compliant and
secure online form, instead of having to fill out paper forms in
person upon check-in. Hotels will also have access to Canary’s web
dashboard to keep track of each guest’s digital authorization
online.
Canary’s Digital Authorizations is fully compliant with Payment
Card Industry (PCI) standards that all businesses must adhere to if
they capture, process, transmit, or store credit or debit card
information. Since most paper credit card authorization forms are
not PCI compliant, Canary’s Digital Authorizations product gives
Curator’s hotels a more secure solution while helping them avoid
substantial penalties of up to $500,000 for violating PCI
requirements.
Canary's Digital Authorizations also helps merchants avoid the
errors and fraud often associated with the process of collecting
credit card information on paper forms: hotels using Digital
Authorizations have reported 90 percent decreases in chargebacks.
“Canary’s Digital Authorizations was an obvious choice
considering its ease of implementation, user-friendly interface and
track record of reducing chargebacks, and we are excited to be able
to leverage the benefits of this impactful technology for our
members,” said Curator Vice President Austin Segal.
“We are honored to have been chosen as a preferred vendor by
Curator and look forward to helping its members fully capitalize on
the ease, efficiency and security of our digital credit card
authorization process,” said Canary Co-Founder Harman Singh
Narula.
In addition to Digital Authorizations, Canary offers an array of
products that cater to the specific needs of the hotel industry.
Its roster of products also includes Contactless Check-in, which
allows guests to check-in virtually without exchanging credit
cards, IDs or registration forms; Contactless Checkout, which
allows hotels to understand when guests will leave their hotel and
boost their reviews; Guest Messages, which allows guests and staff
to easily communicate via text message; Upsells, which allows
hotels to generate >$100k+ annually in upsell revenue; and
Digital Contracts, which increases staff efficiency and bookings.
These industry-leading solutions are helping forward-thinking
hotels improve their business processes and bottom line while
enhancing customer service for their valued guests.
