As part of its expansion in these two countries, dLocal will enable merchants to accept major mobile money platforms in Africa, including Orange Money, MTN, Airtel Tigo and Moov. By facilitating payments with the largest mobile money operators in Côte d’Ivoire, dLocal will enable merchants to reach 7 million Orange Money users, 6 million MTN users and 3.4 million additional Moov users.
