Powertranz CEO Chris Burns said: “Our integration to NCR Aloha introduces restaurant businesses across the Caribbean to a whole new way of accepting card payments.

“Together with Bluefin’s P2PE, this solution leverages sophisticated technology to protect clients from costly data breaches, dual entry mistakes and reconciliation issues.

“This offers customers the simplicity and automation they need to effectively manage their operations.”

Currently, Powertranz supports Chip and Pin, Chip and Signature, and Magnetic Stripe read capabilities in 17 Caribbean countries.

Commenting on the partnership, NCR general manager for Caribbean and Latin America Andy Caraballo said: “Quick service and casual dining restaurants are extremely popular in the Caribbean region and they are undergoing rapid digitisation of business processes.

“It is important that they have access to technology providers who can enable best in class solutions.
