Additionally, the airline will gain valuable insights from transaction data and analytics to further refine its payment strategies during expansion.
dLocal Americas SVP head Justo Benetti said: “By enabling flexible, localised payment solutions, we’re helping Viva Aerobus reach new markets and offer passengers a smooth, secure booking process.
“At dLocal we’re becoming the payment partner of choice for Airlines across emerging markets, a space that for years was very limited, with only a few players that understood the industry and how to serve them. We are happy to be leading the way of innovation.”
dLocal’s offerings include card processing without the need for additional providers and advanced features like instalments, Smart Routing, and Network Tokenisation.
Its “One dLocal” concept, encompassing a single direct API, platform, and contract, enables international companies to handle payments and settlements globally.
Last month, dLocal partnered with USI Money to improve payment services in Asia and Africa.
