Overview

dLocal is a Uruguayan payment technology company headquartered in Montevideo. Founded in 2012, dLocal specialises in emerging market payment processing across Latin America, Africa, and Southeast Asia, providing a unified API that connects merchants to 1,000+ local payment methods in 70+ countries.

The company is particularly strong in Brazil, where it is recognised as a specialist in local payment methods including PIX, Boleto, and local card processing. dLocal's platform handles the full complexity of emerging market payments — including currency conversion, local regulatory compliance, and alternative payment methods — through a single integration.

dLocal is publicly traded on the Nasdaq (DLO) and has grown rapidly by serving global merchants who need to accept payments in emerging markets without establishing local entities or managing dozens of individual PSP relationships. Its payment orchestration model is well-suited to iGaming operators expanding into LATAM and other emerging regions.

Features & Capabilities

1,000+ Local Payment Methods

dLocal connects merchants to 1,000+ local payment methods across 70+ countries, with particular depth in LATAM. This includes PIX and Boleto (Brazil), SPEI and OXXO (Mexico), PSE (Colombia), and local card processing across the region.

Brazil Specialist

dLocal is recognised as a Brazil payment specialist, with deep expertise in PIX (instant payments), Boleto (cash-based vouchers), and local card acquiring. Brazil is one of the world's largest iGaming markets, making this expertise particularly valuable.

Unified API

dLocal's single API integration provides access to all supported markets and payment methods, handling currency conversion, local regulatory compliance, and settlement. This simplifies expansion for operators who would otherwise need to manage dozens of individual PSP relationships.
