MONTEVIDEO, Uruguay--(BUSINESS WIRE)--dLocal, the leading cross-border payment platform connecting global merchants to emerging markets, today announced new partnership milestones with Deel, a leading global compliance and payroll solution that helps businesses scale their remote workforce capabilities.
dLocal has been working with Deel since February 2020, when they selected dLocal as its Payment Service Provider (PSP), integrating dLocal’s payout solution to enable companies to deliver direct payouts seamlessly into employees’ bank accounts, in local currencies with no additional fees for recipients.
To date, the partnership has unlocked more than 700 payment methods across 19 countries worldwide for Deel, resulting in significantly increased payments volumes and achieving a delivery rate of over 99.97%.

“We have chosen a growth partner that enables us to overcome the complexity of the markets it operates in and move at speed to leverage new growth opportunities,” said Courtney Chin, Head of Fintech Operations at Deel. “We trust in dLocal being the perfect payments partner to support our expansion. They already have a team on the ground with an impressive experience in Africa – the support they’re providing is invaluable.”
