What changed
Correction (October 2026): An earlier version of this story was dated September 14, 2026; Mews announced these features on July 15, 2026. It also did not make clear that Multicurrency in the US and Canada currently covers online payments only. Mews says in-person payments in the region are expected to be released soon.
On July 15, 2026, Mews announced three new capabilities to its hospitality operating system, targeting revenue capture and operational automation. The most immediate update is the expansion of its Multicurrency feature to the US and Canada for online payments. This allows hotels to retain a share of currency conversion fees on international online transactions; Mews says in-person payments in the US and Canada are expected to be released soon. Additionally, Mews introduced Recurring Payments, which automates scheduled collections for long-stay and subscription-based guests. Finally, the platform added Accounts Receivable to automate invoice issuance, reminders, collection, and reconciliation, though this specific tool is currently limited to EUR currency markets.
Why a business should care
For hotel operators, these updates directly impact the bottom line by reducing friction in payment collection and capturing previously lost revenue. The ability to retain a portion of currency conversion fees on online payments in the US and Canada means hotels can stop leaving money on the table from international bookings. Automating recurring payments reduces administrative overhead for properties managing long-term stays, while automated invoicing streamlines the post-stay financial workflow.
Who it affects
This announcement primarily impacts hotels in the US and Canada that utilize the Mews operating system. Properties with a high volume of international guests will benefit most from the expanded Multicurrency feature. Hotels offering subscription-based accommodations or long-stay packages will find Recurring Payments particularly relevant. However, the Accounts Receivable tool remains unavailable for non-EUR markets, limiting its immediate utility for North American operators.
What to consider doing
Pull your current online payment transaction reports for the past quarter and calculate the total currency conversion fees paid to your payment processor. Compare this figure against the potential revenue retention offered by the new Multicurrency feature to determine if enabling it is financially viable for your property.
Uncertainty and risks
The Accounts Receivable automation is currently restricted to EUR currency markets, meaning US and Canadian hotels cannot yet leverage this specific workflow. Until Mews expands this feature to other regions, operators relying on automated post-stay invoicing will need to maintain existing manual processes.
