- Dlocal Limited is a leading cross-border financial infrastructure platform that connects global merchants to emerging markets, processing a total payments value of $41 billion in 2025, a 60% increase from the previous year.
- In 2026, Dlocal announced the dismissal of a class action lawsuit in New York, and it plans to report its first quarter financial results on May 14, 2026, while also initiating a $300 million share buyback program.
- Dlocal has partnered with National Exchange Company to enhance remittance payouts across Africa, APAC, and Latin America, simplifying local payment infrastructure across 18 markets through a single integration.
- Dlocal's ideal buyers are large merchants operating in emerging markets, as they address the complexities and high costs of cross-border payments, positioning themselves to capitalize on the projected growth of the global remittance market, expected to reach $270.81 billion by 2032.
Engineering is the largest team at Dlocal, accounting for roughly 23% of all employees with 81 professionals focused on product development and technical infrastructure. Sales and Support follow closely with 75 employees, reflecting the company’s need to manage merchant relationships and customer inquiries. Finance and Administration (50 employees) and Business Management (36 employees) provide operational backbone, while Marketing and Product (35 employees) drive market positioning and feature planning. Operations, Risk & Compliance, and an assorted ‘Other’ category collectively represent just under one-quarter of the workforce, illustrating a balanced functional spread across the organisation.
Dlocal maintains a distributed workforce: about 64% of employees are classified under ‘Other’, indicating a strong remote or flexible-location culture. The largest physical hub is Montevideo with 31 employees, followed by São Paulo (29) and Madrid (17). Additional clusters are present in Barcelona, Buenos Aires, Lagos, Cape Town, London, and Singapore, none of which individually exceed 9% of total staff. This geographic pattern suggests that Dlocal places emphasis on proximity to key emerging markets while retaining the agility of a largely dispersed team.
