By Vriti Gothi

dLocal, a cross-border payments platform, has partnered with digital remittance provider RizRemit to enhance and scale payout operations across key markets in Africa and Asia.

This milestone collaboration marks a significant step toward simplifying remittance delivery, improving speed, and expanding access through next-generation local payment infrastructure.

Under this partnership, RizRemit has integrated with dLocal’s single API platform to unlock seamless access to local payment ecosystems. This includes real-time connectivity to widely adopted eWallets such as OPay in Nigeria, JazzCash, and EasyPaisa in Pakistan, as well as traditional bank rails. The solution empowers RizRemit to deliver funds through channels that are both familiar and trusted by end users, helping to accelerate settlement times while minimising back-end complexity.

The collaboration reflects both firms’ commitment to customer-centric innovation and financial inclusion in underserved regions. By directly integrating with local financial systems, the partnership enhances user experience, boosts transaction transparency, and supports faster disbursement of funds all while reducing friction in cross-border operations.

Looking ahead, the partnership lays the foundation for broader regional expansion and product innovation. dLocal and RizRemit plan to deepen their footprint across other high-impact corridors, further empowering users with inclusive, secure, and digitally native remittance experiences.

This alliance reaffirms dLocal’s position as a critical enabler of financial connectivity in emerging markets, while advancing RizRemit’s mission to deliver fast, affordable, and accessible money transfer services globally.

 Muhammad Rizwan Javeed, CEO at RizRemit, “Remittances are a lifeline for our users and their families. To serve their needs, we have to offer options that work reliably. dLocal gives us access to local rails that make sending money faster and more intuitive, while keeping operations simple on our side.”

Martin Sapiurka, Head of Remittances at dLocal, said, “RizRemit’s focus on high-efficiency remittance flows aligns with our strengths in local infrastructure. Together, we’re improving how cross-border payouts are made by connecting directly to the systems people rely on every day.”
