Verto

 At Verto, we’re passionate about helping businesses in Emerging markets reach the world. What first started life as an FX solution for trading Nigerian Naira has now become a market-leading platform, changing the way thousands of businesses transfer money in and out of Emerging Markets.

We’re not alone in realising the opportunity and need to solve for emerging markets.
