In this week’s episode, we're joined by Matt Gurley, Director of Sales and Partner Integrations at the Lynnbrook Group, for a deep dive into the payment side of vacation rentals that most property managers overlook until it’s too late.
From fraud prevention to faster checkouts to smarter cash flow tools, Matt breaks down how Lynnbrook is simplifying payment processing and helping operators keep more of what they earn. With a career that started in the OTA integration trenches and evolved into leading-edge fintech, Matt brings a unique perspective on why vacation rental companies need more than just a generic payment provider.
If you've ever dealt with chargebacks, payout delays, or struggled with reconciling your books, this one’s for you.
