ACI Worldwide, an original innovator in global payments technology, has joined forces with dLocal, a payment platform linking international merchants with emerging markets, to give merchants direct access to popular local payment options in Brazil and Mexico via the ACI Payments Orchestration Platform.
The tie-up allows merchants to sign up and start processing transactions immediately across six local payment methods spanning the two countries. In Brazil, these include Pix, PicPay, Mercado Pago and NuPay, while in Mexico merchants can offer Mercado Pago, OXXO and SPEI. A second phase of the rollout is set to bring Argentina, Chile, Colombia and Peru into scope.
Through one integration, ACI’s enterprise merchants and FinTech partners can now push into Latin America while keeping complete oversight of their payment strategies. The companies claim the combination of dLocal’s regional payment network with ACI’s fraud prevention, payments intelligence and orchestration tools will help merchants lift conversion rates, handle risk more efficiently and speed up their regional growth.
The ACI Payments Orchestration Platform is a cloud-based, acquirer-agnostic offering that links merchants to numerous payment methods, acquirers and markets through a single connection. It provides intelligent transaction routing, fraud prevention and real-time payments intelligence.
ACI Worldwide head of sales Brazil Vlademir Santos said, “As merchants expand into high-growth regions like Latin America, the challenge is no longer simply accepting payments, it’s managing growing complexity while maintaining performance, flexibility and control,” said Vlademir Santos, Head of Sales Brazil, ACI Worldwide. “Through our partnership with dLocal, merchants can access the payment methods consumers trust in each market while continuing to orchestrate payments on their own terms. That means better customer experiences, stronger conversion rates and a payments strategy that can scale with their business.”
dLocal head of commercial partnerships Horacio Raviolo said, “Payments are the front door to Latin America’s digital economy, and getting them right requires genuine local expertise, not just connectivity,” said Horacio Raviolo, head of commercial partnerships at dLocal. “By combining our deep local payments coverage and regional knowledge with ACI’s world-class orchestration infrastructure, we give merchants the best of both: the reach to win locally and the control to scale globally.”
