dLocal, a cross-border payment platform, has joined forceswith foreign exchange provider USI Money, aiming to enhance payment services in Asia and Africa.
This collaboration will focus on addressing the challenges of high costs, slow speeds, and limited access in cross-border transactions.
The Financial Stability Board (FSB) has identified that over 40% of cross-border payments take more than a day to settle, leading to delays in fund availability.
Moreover, most of the consumers demand instant transactions, a need that is not being met by traditional payment systems.
USI Money EMEA business development senior vice president Sohail said: “By joining forces with dLocal, we can leverage their innovative technology and extensive network to enhance our service offerings across Asia and Africa.
“Together, we are dedicated to ensuring that users can access their funds quickly and affordably, fundamentally improving the cross-border payment experience in these high-growth regions.”
