Founded in 2017, Verto enables businesses in emerging markets to make seamless cross-border payments through its fast, secure, and scalable platform.
Nairobi, September 25th, 2025 – Verto, a leading global financial technology company revolutionizing cross-border payments and foreign exchange for businesses, has announced the unveiling of a new strategic hub in Nairobi, Kenya. This shows a significant move that deepens Verto’s investment in the East African region and its ongoing mission to simplify global trade for emerging markets.
Located at The Address, Muthangari Dr, Nairobi, Kenya, the Nairobi hub will serve as a central point for Verto’s operations in East Africa, supporting its growing base of customers in the region. From its new hub, Verto will focus on enhancing customer experience, driving regional partnerships, and delivering locally tailored payment solutions to businesses transacting across borders.
Founded in 2018, Verto enables businesses in emerging markets to make seamless cross-border payments through its fast, secure, and scalable platform. Today, Verto’s network spans over 170 countries and 49 currencies. With Africa playing an increasingly crucial role in the global economy, Nairobi has emerged as a natural choice for the company’s expansion.
Speaking during the launch, Chief Executive Officer (CEO) and Co-founder of Verto Ola Oyetayo, said that the new hub represents more than just a physical expansion, but a firm commitment to one of Verto’s most important markets.
He noted that Kenya’s digital infrastructure, entrepreneurial culture, and regional influence make it a strategic gateway for the continent.
“As we work to enable seamless trade for businesses in and out of Africa, having a stronger local presence allows us to deliver faster, smarter, and more inclusive solutions to our customers here,” he stated.
The decision to strengthen Kenya’s operations supervene Verto’s strong performance across African markets and growing demand from businesses looking to pay suppliers, contractors, and partners across borders without the traditional hurdles of high fees, delays, and lack of transparency.
James Njoroge, Verto Operations Manager in Kenya, reveals that the company plans to invest in local talent development and aims to contribute to Kenya’s fintech ecosystem by creating job opportunities and skills-building initiatives.
Additionally, he stated that the hub will house teams across operations, compliance, customer support, and partner engagement, all vital to delivering Verto’s promise of frictionless cross-border financial services.
“We’re thrilled to officially open our new hub in Nairobi. This isn’t just a workplace; it’s a base for innovation, collaboration, and creating lasting impact. Kenyan businesses face unique challenges when trading internationally. With our expanded presence, we’ll be even better equipped to support them with accessible, reliable, and efficient financial tools tailored to their needs,” says Njoroge.
On Wednesday 24 September, Verto celebrated the office launch with an exclusive event held at the office bringing together banking partners, press, customers and team members, showcasing a new era of growth for Verto in Kenya.
The Nairobi hub will not only serve Kenya but also neighboring markets including Uganda and Tanzania. By anchoring its East African strategy in Nairobi, Verto aims to build a stronger foundation for its long-term vision that unlocks global trade for every business globally and locally.
