Powertranz (First Atlantic Commerce)

Powertranz is the payment gateway operated by First Atlantic Commerce, a Bermuda based payment processor focused on the Caribbean and Central America. The gateway provides hosted payment pages, a direct API, recurring billing, point of sale connections and fraud screening, and is sold both to merchants directly and to banks that want to offer e-commerce acquiring to their own customers.

Jamaica is named among the markets served, and Jamaican merchants typically meet the platform indirectly: the checkout page presented by a bank acquired merchant account is often a First Atlantic Commerce hosted page, with the merchant holding the acquiring relationship at a local bank. Integration guides and API documentation are published through the company developer portal.

The company is regional rather than Jamaican, and the site does not state a founding year, so origin is recorded as Jamaica targeted and confidence as medium.
