About UnSwap
UnSwap is a closed-loop, institutionally verified home exchange network built exclusively for UN staff, World Bank Group, IMF, and affiliated international organisation professionals.
The problem we solve
UN and IO professionals face mandatory geographic rotations every two to three years. Commercial accommodation in duty-station cities — New York, Geneva, Vienna, Nairobi, Rome, Paris — is prohibitively expensive for short and medium-term stays, while a professional's own home sits empty and unprotected.
UnSwap turns that empty home into a living asset. Members exchange homes — simultaneously, or non-simultaneously using UnSwap Credits — eliminating accommodation costs at both ends of a posting.
Built on trust
Verified
Every member is confirmed as an active UN/IO professional before they can browse, list, or message.
Peer network
The person staying in your home is a vetted peer with as much to protect as you do.
Protected
A legal exchange agreement and property guarantee back every swap.
Our commitment to your data
