dLocal, a prominent player in the cross-border payment sector with a focus on burgeoning markets, has unveiled an expansion of its collaboration with Deel, a leading HR and payroll platform, spanning 12 additional countries across Asia and the EMEA region. dLocal and Deel Extend Partnership to 12 Countries amidst Remote Work Surge
This expansion comes on the heels of a highly successful initial rollout across 19 countries in 2022, which witnessed a substantial surge in payment volumes and an impressive payment delivery rate of 99.97%.
Dan Westgarth, COO of Deel, remarked, “dLocal’s expertise in payments has been instrumental in our journey, and this significant expansion into high-growth markets is a testament to the quality of their services. We’ve been able to scale rapidly, on our terms, thanks to dLocal’s support.”
Under this enhanced partnership, dLocal will extend its services to Indonesia, Malaysia, Thailand, Vietnam, Ghana, Jordan, Kenya, Morocco, Saudi Arabia, South Africa, Turkey, and the United Arab Emirates. Additionally, dLocal will offer payout services in Brazil through PIX, a widely adopted instant payment method in Latin America.
Agustin Botta, Head of EMEA at dLocal, emphasized, “Our goal is to foster growth and opportunities for brands and individuals, and the collaboration with Deel perfectly aligns with this objective.”
Forging New Alliances
In addition to deepening its partnership with Deel, dLocal has recently forged alliances with other industry players. The company has partnered with Papaya Global, a leading payroll platform, to facilitate timely payments to employees, partners, freelancers, and suppliers in local currencies across the globe. By integrating dLocal’s payment capabilities into Papaya’s platform, the payment process is streamlined for their shared clients.
Furthermore, dLocal has joined forces with Ebury to bolster cross-border payments in Africa. Leveraging dLocal’s payment solution, Ebury can efficiently manage both incoming and outgoing payments while optimizing costs and delivery times. Additionally, dLocal provides extensive support to Ebury’s merchants navigating the complexities of emerging markets. As Ebury expands its footprint in these regions, the partnership with dLocal provides access to over 41 different markets through a single integration.
dLocal, a publicly traded company on NASDAQ, has successfully completed four funding rounds to date. In its latest and most substantial round in 2021, the company raised $150 million, achieving a valuation of $5 billion.
