When booking your summer getaway, the last thing you want to worry about is hidden bank fees. If you are sending a deposit directly to a host in Europe. At Nikana, we believe that planning your holiday should be stress-free and cost-effective. That’s why we encourage all our travelers to take advantage of the SEPA payment system when securing their dream accommodation through us. Save on Fees When You Book with Nikana: The Power of SEPA Payments SEPA (Single Euro Payments Area) is a payment-integration initiative of the European Union for simplification of bank transfers denominated in euro. Today, it covers 36+ countries, making cross-border transfers as easy as local ones. Why use SEPA for your holiday deposits?

• Fixed Low Fees: Unlike traditional wire transfers (SWIFT) that can cost up to €40, SEPA transfers usually range from €1 to €7.
• No Intermediary Banks: Your money goes directly from your account to the host’s account without third-party deductions.
• Speed: Confirm your reservation faster! Transfers are usually completed within 24 hours.

Important Note: To make a SEPA payment, you only need the host’s IBAN and BIC/SWIFT code. Always choose the “SHA” (shared costs) option in your banking app to ensure the most cost-effective transaction. Save on fees, spend on memories! By choosing SEPA, you are keeping more of your travel budget where it belongs – in your pocket.
