The Challenge
dLocal is a leader in cross-border emerging market payments, with one goal in mind - to provide the bridge between the largest global companies and consumers in high-growth markets throughout Africa, Asia, and Latin America.
Being in a competitive landscape, dLocal was determined to put their brand and the opportunities these markets can bring, in front of their target audience at Money20/20 USA.
The Solution
dLocal first sponsored at Money20/20 in 2016 as a newly established startup, with a stand on the show floor as a destination to interact with prospective and existing customers. Since then, dLocal has grown from startup, to unicorn status (in 2020), to a publicly listed company (in 2021, having raised $617.65 million) - all while consistently investing in Money20/20 globally - to support their ambitious growth goals.
dLocal is now a legacy sponsor of the official Coffee Lounge, serving thousands of prospective customers a good ol’ cup of joe while chatting about all things global payments and emerging markets. Because all good meetings start with a coffee!
Not stopping there, dLocal utilized additional experiences throughout Money20/20, such as co-hosting a breakfast with Riskified in 2023, maximizing exposure and garnering brand engagement.
Even though we are no longer the small Uruguayan startup we were in 2016, the value Money20/20 brings for dLocal is still instrumental in helping us connect with key payment industry players, and forge valuable business partnerships. Money20/20 fosters an environment that encourages open dialogue and innovation, making the show a fantastic platform to showcase dLocal to those who need it.
