dLocal, the European cross-border payment platform connecting global merchants to emerging markets, has expanded its network to include two more African countries, Côte d’Ivoire and Rwanda. The company now supports local payment processing in 12 African countries and 37 emerging countries in total around the world.
As part of its expansion to these two countries, dLocal will enable merchants to accept major mobile money platforms in Africa, including Orange Money, MTN, Airtel Tigo and Moov. By facilitating payments with the largest mobile money operators in Côte d’Ivoire, dLocal will enable merchants to reach an additional 7 million Orange Money users, 6 million MTN users and 3.4 million Moov users.
In Rwanda, Airtel Money is also a popular operator, with 1.4 million customers. In addition to mobile money, international merchants will also be able to accept local Visa and Mastercard debit cards thanks to the “One dLocal” concept (one direct API, one platform and one contract). Some additional benefits for merchants using One dLocal include payments, unique API integration, and a suite of enhanced fraud management tools.
