Powertranz, a leading payment gateway in the Caribbean and Central America, today announced a strategic partnership with 1Money, the first vertically integrated financial stack. The collaboration enables Powertranz clients to settle invoices and pay for Powertranz services using stablecoins and offers a faster, more flexible alternative to traditional international cross-border payment methods.
With over 27 years of experience, Powertranz is at the forefront of payment innovation in the region. This new partnership represents a further step in that journey – one that recognises the growing role of digital assets in the global payments landscape and the evolving expectations of modern merchants.
By integrating 1Money’s platform, Powertranz clients can now settle Powertranz invoices faster and more efficiently than traditional cross-border transactions. The integration eliminates many of the inefficiencies associated with traditional international transfers, including delays and high conversion costs, while remaining fully compliant with applicable regulations. This is the first phase of a wider stablecoin payments strategy.
“At Powertranz, we are committed to giving our clients more choice in how they do business with us. By enabling stablecoin payments for our services, we are making it easier for clients to pay us in a way that is modern, efficient, and aligned with the evolving global payments landscape. We are pleased to be working with 1Money, whose platform is built to support compliant stablecoin and fiat flows with global bank on- and off-ramps.”
