dLocal is partnering with Oscilar to use its AI platform for compliance tasks like screening for sanctions and monitoring transactions for fraud. This move helps automate the complex work of following different financial laws in the 60-plus countries where dLocal operates. For a company that acts as a bridge between global giants like Google and local payment methods in emerging markets, staying ahead of financial regulations is a requirement, not an extra. Using AI to handle these checks should help dLocal scale its operations more efficiently without needing to hire a massive team of manual reviewers as it grows.

UATP, a major payment network owned by the world's airlines, has added dLocal as a partner for its merchant services platform. This allows airlines and travel companies to use dLocal's technology to accept hundreds of local payment methods, like specific regional credit cards and bank transfers, across Latin America, Africa, and Asia.
This is a meaningful win because the travel industry is a massive source of transaction volume. By becoming a partner for a specialized network like UATP, dLocal can reach many global airlines at once rather than signing them one by one. It reinforces the company's role as the go-to bridge for global firms that want to do business in complex emerging markets without building their own local payment systems.

The company processed nearly 18 billion dollars in payments last quarter, a 92 percent jump from a year ago. While earnings per share of 18 cents were slightly below what analysts expected, revenue of 400 million dollars came in well ahead of targets. This growth is being driven by global merchants using the platform to reach customers in emerging markets across Africa, Asia, and Latin America.
Management raised its full-year outlook for both total payment volume and gross profit, which is the money left after paying direct transaction costs. The company is also showing better control over its spending, with operating profit margins improving as it scales. For a long-term owner, the core story remains intact: the company is successfully acting as a bridge for global giants like Google and Meta to navigate complex local payment systems.
Analysts expect the company to report earnings of about $0.18 per share on revenue of roughly $370 million. These results will offer a fresh look at how well the firm is handling two key areas: its ability to keep growing payment volumes in Africa and Asia, and whether it can maintain its take rate, which is the percentage it keeps from every transaction it processes for big merchants like Google and Meta.
The company is scheduled to share its latest quarterly results on August 13. Analysts are looking for earnings of about $0.18 per share on roughly $0.37 billion in revenue.
This will be an important check on whether the company can maintain its growth in total payment volume, which is the total dollar amount of transactions it processes. We will also be watching the take rate, or the small percentage the company keeps from each transaction, to see if it remains steady as the business scales.
Management has a history of hitting their targets by a hair, but a recent miss suggests they are struggling to keep up with their own fast growth.
