The story
Mews started as a cloud-based PMS for hotels, aiming to replace legacy on-premise systems. It expanded its embedded finance footprint by launching Mews Merchant — a virtual payment terminal powered by Stripe and Adyen — directly inside its PMS, removing the need for separate physical terminals. The acquisition of Bizzon brought POS capabilities and a proprietary payment gateway with 3-D Secure support. Mews now operates as a hospitality platform with deeply integrated payments acceptance, positioning itself as a financial operations layer for hotels and hospitality properties.
