dLocal Limited (NASDAQ: DLO) and London‑based fintech Damisa announced a partnership that will extend dLocal’s local payment rails to Damisa’s merchant base across the Asia‑Pacific region. The collaboration will enable instant local bank transfers in key APAC markets through a single integration and will add stablecoin settlement, allowing businesses to hold, transfer, and pay out in both fiat and regulated stablecoins across more than 70 currencies, with settlement completed in hours rather than days.
dLocal operates in over 40 countries worldwide, including a growing presence in China, India, Indonesia, and Vietnam. Damisa, which launched its first commercial transaction in April 2025, holds regulatory financial licenses in Poland and Australia and is expanding into APAC markets. The partnership gives Damisa immediate access to dLocal’s established local payment rails and regulatory footing in the countries where dLocal already operates, while giving dLocal a ready‑made merchant base that can leverage its stablecoin infrastructure.
The APAC cross‑border commerce market is projected to exceed US$4 trillion by 2028, and the partnership positions both companies to capture a share of that growth. “APAC represents one of the most significant opportunities in global B2B payments, and dLocal gives us the local rail access and regulatory footing in the APAC markets where it operates to move quickly and responsibly in the region,” said Thomas Pinter, Co‑Founder and Chief Commercial Officer at Damisa. “This partnership means our customers can reach new markets without any additional integration on their side.” Richard Healy, Commercial VP (APAC) at dLocal, added, “Cross‑border settlement in APAC can be complex. Fragmented rails, local compliance requirements, in‑country operational demands. That is exactly what our infrastructure is built to absorb. Damisa is building for corridors that have been underserved for too long, and this partnership gives them the foundation to do it at scale.”
dLocal’s guidance for 2026 projects transaction‑processing volume (TPV) growth of 50%–60% and operating profit growth of 27.5%–32.5%, underscoring management’s confidence in the company’s ability to scale its platform and capture new market opportunities. The partnership is expected to accelerate dLocal’s APAC expansion and enhance its competitive position against other cross‑border payment providers.
The collaboration combines dLocal’s deep local payment expertise with Damisa’s programmable wallet and stablecoin capabilities, creating a seamless, fast, and compliant settlement solution for B2B merchants across the APAC region. The partnership is a strategic step that strengthens both companies’ market positions and aligns with dLocal’s broader strategy to expand into high‑growth emerging markets.
