dLocal does a very good job of explaining why payments fail when they occur, and makes it clear what happened. I work with Onesource too, and it doesn't explain this very well. There is a specific payment in Brazil called PIX, as if it were a digital wallet that makes payments immediately. This payment is processed by Demerge, but it is not possible to find this type of payment in platform. So sometimes the client makes the payment in this way to another account by mistake, and we are unable to locate it on our part.

Transferwise it is great for transferring money across countries (never for transfers within the same country) and when the countries in question use different currencies. It is very quick, especially if the amount is not big. For larger amounts, it would take longer so it would be good only if you are not time-constraint.

  • Quick - because funds are transferred domestically, even when going international, you don't have to wait long.
  • Easy - the printout of what information I needed to give the sending bank was complete and easy to understand.
  • Affordable - the fees on both ends were minimal.

  • TransferWise (at the time of this review) does not allow one to transfer money to all kinds of business accounts. This can be a limitation for people who want to use it as a way to pay directly for goods and services.
  • Sometimes it has problems with some credit cards. But the most popular types are accepted without problems.
  • TransferWise accepts fewer currencies than other services. But it seems like this is a temporary problem, and the company is making efforts to support transferences to all of the currencies.

Usability
The dLocal platform is very easy to use, and has a well thought out user experience. It's intuitive for you to find what you want, with the different filters that the site offers. As well as information that returns about a specific payment, such as all customer-related content, which is used to find Spotify accounts

dLocal is the most complete among the platforms I use in my daily life, in relation to searching for payments. both in layout, UX, optimization, among other things. In addition to being possible to locate several different types of payments from different countries. As a comparison, Onesource works mostly only for payments in Latin America

Apple Pay has high fees and hidden charges, not easy to use and it does not really support enterprises. It is also not regulated by MAS so we don't feel safe using it. Transferwise account was easy to set up (within minutes), the admin fee is low and the pricing is very transparent (no hidden fee). Lastly, we needed a platform which is safe to use and we are happy to know that Transferwise is regulated by the MAS of Singapore.

Return on Investment
  • dLocal helps businesses accept payments in new markets, which helps attract more customers and increases sales. ROI can be positive with customer growth and geographic diversification.
  • dLocal can reduce payment costs by uniting and simplifying international and local payments on one platform, which can help you make better money
  • dLocal can require a lot of investment, training and changes to internal processes. If adaptation is not efficient or emerging markets do not perform as expected, it may delay returns or result in losses.
