ACI Worldwide has partnered with payment infrastructure provider dLocal to provide global merchants with access to local payment methods in Brazil and Mexico.
The collaboration enables access through the cloud-based ACI Payments Orchestration Platform.

Under the agreement, merchants can begin processing transactions using local payment options in both countries through a single integration.
In Brazil, supported methods include Pix, PicPay, Mercado Pago and NuPay. The offering includes Mercado Pago, OXXO and SPEI in Mexico.
dLocal will contribute its local payments network and market coverage to the ACI Payments Orchestration Platform.
In a statement, ACI said the partnership will enable its enterprise merchants and fintech partners to expand into Latin America via “a single integration”.
A future rollout is planned in additional markets including Argentina, Chile, Colombia and Peru.
ACI Worldwide Brazil head of sales Vlademir Santos said: “As merchants expand into high-growth regions like Latin America, the challenge is no longer simply accepting payments, it’s managing growing complexity while maintaining performance, flexibility and control.
“Through our partnership with dLocal, merchants can access the payment methods consumers trust in each market while continuing to orchestrate payments on their own terms. That means better customer experiences, stronger conversion rates and a payments strategy that can scale with their business.”
dLocal commercial partnerships head Horacio Raviolo said: “By combining our deep local payments coverage and regional knowledge with ACI’s world-class orchestration infrastructure, we give merchants the best of both: the reach to win locally and the control to scale globally.”
ACI said its Payments Orchestration Platform is “acquirer-agnostic”, adding that it supports “intelligent transaction routing, fraud prevention and real-time payments intelligence”.
Earlier this year, ACI Worldwide expanded its unified cloud-native payments platform, ACI Connetic, to support eight major US payment networks.
ACI Connetic now provides connectivity to Fedwire, CHIPS, Swift, The Clearing House RTP, Zelle and FedNow.
