As an international customer, I find the appropriation of the “$” symbol to exclusively represent USD both misleading and discriminatory. The United States is not the only country that uses the dollar sign — currencies such as CAD, AUD, BZD, and many others share the same symbol.
If OwnerRez intends to position itself as a truly international platform, then the display of currencies must reflect that reality. Each currency should be shown not only with its symbol but with its specific code (e.g., USD, CAD, AUD, BZD) to ensure clarity and inclusivity.
Our team has had to manually filter hundreds of messages and bookings because of this oversight. This issue was raised when we first onboarded with OwnerRez, and it’s disheartening that it still hasn’t been addressed — or even acknowledged as the serious issue it is.
This isn’t a small cosmetic tweak; it’s about accuracy, fairness, and respect for global users. The current practice reinforces a US-centric bias that alienates international customers and undermines OwnerRez’s credibility abroad.
If OwnerRez truly wants to continue its international growth, updating its currency display options is not optional — it’s essential.
