Our Story
For more than 20 years, Ascent Payment Solutions has been providing payment processing services to the vacation rental industry after identifying a lack of security and technology integrations, lofty credit card rates, and complicated reservation and reconciliation processes for merchants. The Ascent team analyzed the payment processing landscape and immediately set out to develop and provide a complete solution.
We hit the ground running, integrating an Omni-solution payment platform into the top vacation rental reservation software. We lobbied with Visa and other credit card providers for lower pricing and enhanced chargeback regulations. We knew there was a way to develop a product much more deserving for the fast-growing vacation rental industry, and we were going to be the solution.
Since starting in the short-term rental space, our vacation rental industry experience has expanded into traditional vacation rental businesses, apartment complexes, boutique hotels, bed and breakfasts, resorts, lodges, inns, corporate housing, on-site property management, and more. Our clients say we are trustworthy, ethical, and transparent, which we consider the highest compliments for the payment processing business.
