Challenge & Solution
Most providers weren't built for emerging markets and operate from abroad, treating payouts as an extension of payments acceptance.
dLocal Payouts combines local currency, local settlement, and local compliance in a single infrastructure built for the markets where cross-border providers fail to deliver.
- Cross-border providers
Challenge: Payouts that fail
Cross-border transfers get delayed, rejected, or lost before reaching recipients, damaging trust and increasing support costs.
Trust declines when recipients are paid late or receive less than expected
dLocal PayoutsSolution: Local delivery
Funds move through rails we own within each market, so payouts arrive reliably instead of getting delayed or rejected across borders.
Payouts that arrive, on time and in full
- Cross-border providers
Challenge: Value lost to intermediaries
Cross-border transfers often pass through multiple intermediaries and currency conversions, reducing the amount recipients ultimately receive.
Costs increase as value is lost across
the payout journeydLocal PayoutsSolution: Local settlement
Payments are converted and settled in local currency, avoiding the multiple conversion steps common in cross-border wire transfers.
A better payment experience for recipients
- Cross-border providers

Got questions?
-
How does dLocal Payouts handle FX and local currencies?
Cross-border payouts often require repatriation, navigating local FX controls and central bank regulations. dLocal handles this through its local licenses, allowing you to fund payouts in USD, EUR, or stablecoin while we settle in local currency. Settlement details are defined during onboarding and aligned with local requirements.
-
Do I need local entities or bank accounts in every country to send payouts?
No. You can operate across 60+ emerging markets without setting up a local entity. dLocal provides the local infrastructure to accept payments and move funds, while your business remains the seller of record, responsible for taxes, invoicing, and other commercial obligations.
-
Which countries and payout methods does dLocal Payouts support?
Payouts covers 60+ emerging markets across Latin America, Africa and the Middle East, and Asia, including Brazil, Mexico, Argentina, Colombia, Nigeria, South Africa, Kenya, Egypt, Saudi Arabia, UAE, India, Indonesia, Philippines, Thailand, Vietnam, and Pakistan.
