Both Microsoft, the software provider, and dLocal, the payments platform, are on a mission to become more financial inclusive and drive digital transformation. Artificial intelligence (AI) has been identified as a key accelerator in the fintech sector and as such, Microsoft and dLocal have partnered, integrating AI solutions to help both firms meet their goals.
