dLocal issues response to the press article allegations
MONTEVIDEO, Uruguay, May 26, 2023 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) — dLocal Limited (“dLocal,” the “Company,” “we,” “us,” and “our”) (Nasdaq: DLO), a technology-first payments platform enabling global enterprise merchants to connect with billions of consumers in emerging markets.
Today we were subject to a set of misleading allegations in an article published by Infobae, who has not reached out to the company for comments, about alleged non compliance with expatriation rules in Argentina. dLocal operates in the payments industry and is regulated by government authorities across its 40 geographies. The referred article is factually incorrect:
1. dLocal processes payments for global merchants. Our activities are subject to government regulations specific to each currency being exchanged. In Argentina, expatriation of funds are conducted through regulated parties that follow the Central Bank of Argentina rules, containing detailed information at a payment transaction level. Funds expatriated from Argentina are settled to global merchants, net of taxes.
2. As part of our day to day activities, we are in close contact with authorities and there is a continuous flow of information. To the extent we are notified by authorities in Argentina (or any other geography), we engage meaningfully and cooperate with any requests from regulatory authorities. As of today, we have not been notified by any Argentinian authority regarding a foreign exchange investigation.
3. We continue to process payments normally in Argentina. We have been operating in the country since 2016 and have a solid local presence with over 150 employees across numerous offices.
We will maintain our focus on delivering outstanding service and results for our customers, shareholders and other stakeholders. We will not be distracted by misleading allegations. dLocal is committed to the integrity of all its business activities and will continue to focus on providing the best and most comprehensive solution for our global merchants in each market in which we operate.
