Written by Powertranz | April 22, 2026

August 2025 - Powertranz, the Caribbean and Central America’s leading payment gateway, has announced a strategic partnership with OwnerRez, a globally recognized vacation rental software platform. This collaboration will enable vacation rental managers in the region to securely accept online credit and debit card payments through seamless integration with Powertranz. 

Both companies share a people-first philosophy. Powertranz, built in the region for the region, delivers enterprise-grade payments with local expertise. OwnerRez, one of the only independent platforms in the vacation rental tech space, is run by property managers for property managers, many of whom rely on the platform to operate their own rentals. 

With this new partnership, Powertranz becomes the local payment gateway of choice for OwnerRez customers operating in the Caribbean and Central America, unlocking fast, secure, and reliable payment processing for thousands of property managers. 

This partnership brings global capabilities to regional businesses. OwnerRez is trusted by vacation rental professionals worldwide, and our integration ensures that property managers in the Caribbean and Central America can now process payments locally with multi-currency support and built-in fraud protection. 

OwnerRez is an all-in-one vacation rental software platform offering channel management, CRM, accounting, guest messaging, websites, and more. It integrates with all major vacation rental platforms, such as Airbnb, Vrbo, Booking.com, and others, allowing hosts to sync availability, rates, rules, and content with ease. 

With Powertranz as a payments partner, OwnerRez users in the region can now: 

  • Accept payments in multiple currencies 
  • Process transactions with PCI Validated Point to Point Encryption (P2PE) 
  • Use advanced fraud tools like 3-D Secure™, AVS, CVV, and Kount™
