Surfshark selected the One dLocal integration – one API, one platform, one contract – to help them offer local payments in Africa, Asia, and Latin America. Through the new partnership, Surfshark will be able to seamlessly and simultaneously launch operations in 13 emerging markets.
The markets covered include Egypt, Morocco, South Africa, Turkey, India, Indonesia, Argentina, Brazil, Colombia, Chile, Ecuador, Mexico, and Peru.
dLocal will enable Surfshark to offer their customers convenient local payment methods specific to each individual market, which could include cash, bank transfers, local digital wallets, local credit cards, and international credit cards.
“Our vision is one in which people have full control of their digital lives,” said Regimantas Urbanas, Chief Marketing Officer at Surfshark. “Payments should be the easiest part of the customers’ journey. That’s why we’re excited to partner with dLocal to allow users to pay with the alternative payment methods they trust, and ultimately scale Surfshark to a broader range of clients around the world.”
“Surfshark’s expansion is a true customer success story,“ said Michel Golffed, SVP Growth at dLocal. Following the fast, hassle-free integration of One dLocal, we ended up broadening their initial expansion plans to include more markets than originally intended. We are honored to be selected as the exclusive payments facilitator to support Surfshark’s global expansion in new markets across Africa, Asia, and Latin America.”
