The Montevideo, Uruguay-based company, which is working with a financial adviser, has been talking with potential buyers. The news comes amid ongoing consolidation in the payments industry, as consumers increasingly move away from using cash.
DLocal, which went public in 2021, provides payment services across 40 countries, with a particularly strong presence in Brazil, Mexico, Argentina and Chile, according to its annual report. Growth equity firm General Atlantic owned about 21% of DLocal’s common shares as of March 31.
