DLocal Limited DLO

Company Overview

dLocal Limited is a Uruguay-founded financial technology company that provides cross-border payment infrastructure for global merchants operating in emerging markets. The company enables international enterprises to accept local payments, send payouts, and settle funds across a broad range of countries through a unified API platform. dLocal primarily operates in the digital payments and financial infrastructure industries, serving sectors such as e-commerce, streaming, online travel, software, gaming, financial services, and digital marketplaces.

The company’s primary revenue drivers include payment processing fees, foreign exchange spreads, and payout-related services tied to cross-border commerce. Its platform supports local payment methods such as bank transfers, cards, digital wallets, and cash-based systems in regions where payment fragmentation and regulatory complexity are common. dLocal was founded in 2016 by Sebastián Kanovich, Andrés Bzurovski Bay, Sergio Fogel, and Alejandro Viñuales, and later became publicly listed on Nasdaq under the ticker DLO in 2021. The company has positioned itself as a “one-stop-shop” payment infrastructure provider focused specifically on high-growth emerging markets, differentiating itself through local regulatory integrations, localized payment acceptance, and merchant onboarding capabilities across multiple jurisdictions.
