Cadana 3x’s Volume with dLocal as LATAM Becomes Our Fastest-Growing Corridor

At Cadana, we’re building the infrastructure that powers a borderless workforce — one where global payroll and payouts happen as seamlessly as work itself.
Over the past year, Latin America has become our fastest-growing region, with transaction volumes tripling year over year. From Brazil through to Argentina, Colombia, Ecuador, El Salvador, Mexico and many other countries, businesses and workers are embracing remote work opportunities at a scale the region has never seen before — and Cadana is right at the center of it.
Why LATAM Is Booming

One of the biggest drivers behind this surge is time zone alignment. For U.S.-based companies, working with Latin American talent means real-time collaboration without the scheduling friction common in other global markets. Developers, designers, and remote teams across Brazil, Argentina, Colombia, Ecuador, El Salvador, Mexico and many other countries are tapping into global opportunities while staying rooted in their local economies.
But opportunity also brings complexity.
The Compliance Challenge
While LATAM’s remote economy is growing rapidly, compliance remains a major hurdle for both employers and platforms.
In Brazil, a recent Supreme Court ruling on contractor classification has intensified scrutiny on how global companies engage local workers. Similar discussions are unfolding in Colombia, where governments are tightening frameworks around contractor vs. employee status, taxation, and benefits.
For companies expanding into the region, this evolving regulatory landscape introduces uncertainty and risk — especially when managing contractors or employees across multiple jurisdictions.
That’s where Cadana comes in.
How Cadana Helps
