Dejavoo taps Blokko for real-time payments ahead of World Cup

Dejavoo and Blokko are teaming up to bring international real-time payments, stablecoins and crypto into Dejavoo’s merchant network before the World Cup. The integration aims to cut cross-border friction and give merchants faster USD settlement as global visitors arrive in U.S. host cities. Why it matters: - The partnership gives merchants a way to accept more international payment methods without replacing existing terminal infrastructure. - Faster USD settlement could help reduce cash-flow delays, chargeback exposure and cross-border payment inefficiencies. - The rollout targets merchants in travel-heavy sectors and cities expected to see more global visitors during the World Cup. What happened: - Dejavoo announced a partnership with Blokko to deliver international real-time payments in time for the World Cup. - The Blokko.io integration is now available through Dejavoo’s application marketplace, DvStore. - The integration is available for compatible Dejavoo terminals. - Dejavoo directed merchants to contact its ISV sales team at ISVSales@Dejavoo.io to get started. - Dejavoo also said more information is available at Dejavoo . The details: - Merchants can use the integration to accept PIX from Brazil, Codi from Mexico and Bre-b from Colombia. - The system also supports stablecoin and cryptocurrency payments. - International digital wallet transactions are included in the rollout. - Blokko’s infrastructure converts alternative payments and settles them into USD. - The integration is designed to work with familiar operational workflows. - The offer is aimed at merchants in hospitality, nightlife, tourism, retail and service industries. - Dejavoo says the integration can help ISOs differentiate beyond traditional payment offerings, expand into international and underserved merchant segments and create recurring revenue opportunities. - Blokko says merchants receive funds in fiat currency through the payment and banking systems they already use. Between the lines: - The World Cup is being used as a near-term catalyst for a broader push into international payments. - The move suggests both companies see demand growing for payment tools that handle alternative rails while keeping settlement in local currency. - Blokko and Dejavoo are positioning the product as a low-friction option for ISOs that want new revenue without a hardware refresh. - Dejavoo’s CEO Mony Zenou said the collaboration is meant to help partners prepare for the next generation of global payment acceptance. - Blokko co-founder Gustavo Jimenez said the integration should simplify access to global payment capabilities while preserving existing workflows. What’s next: - Merchants using compatible Dejavoo terminals can activate the integration through DVStore now. - ISOs can use the offering to target international shoppers and underserved merchant segments ahead of the tournament. - The companies are likely betting that demand for real-time and alternative payments will extend beyond the World Cup period. The bottom line: - Dejavoo and Blokko are turning the World Cup into a launchpad for real-time, cross-border payment acceptance with faster USD settlement.
