Our take
Verto is a UK-based global B2B payment platform, specialising in assisting small to medium-sized businesses with their supplier transactions across borders. With a particular focus on African countries, Verto addresses the challenges associated with incompatible monetary transactions between African currencies and Western countries. By eliminating the need for intermediary currency conversions to dollars, Verto offers transactions that are up to nine times cheaper than those offered by traditional banks.
While many fintech companies have primarily focused on person-to-person transactions across borders, Verto stands out by catering specifically to small business transactions. This is a significant market, considering that 30% of global imports are sourced from foreign B2Bs. Verto's expansive reach extends to over 200 countries, exemplifying its forward-thinking approach in an increasingly interconnected world.
In 2022, Verto established partnerships with notable companies such as Locusnine, an Indian software company, and Xente, a Ugandan company. These collaborations serve as a testament to Verto's promising position within the industry. Building on these breakthroughs, Verto has ambitious plans to expand further into emerging markets in the coming years, capitalising on its innovative solutions and growing reputation.
