Verto today announced the opening of a new strategic hub in Nairobi, Kenya. This move signals our deepening 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 our operations in East Africa, supporting Verto's growing base of customers in the region. From the new hub, we will focus on enhancing customer experience, driving regional partnerships, and delivering locally tailored payment solutions to businesses transacting across borders.
According to Ola Oyetayo, Chief Executive Officer (CEO) and Co-founder of Verto, the new hub represents more than just a physical expansion, but a firm commitment to one of our most important markets. Oyetayo goes on to note 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 says.
The decision to deepen operations in Kenya follows our 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, Operations Manager for Verto in Kenya, reveals that the company plans to invest in local talent development, contributing to Kenya’s fintech ecosystem by creating job opportunities and skills-building initiatives. Njoroge goes on to add 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. With banking partners, press, customers and team members in attendance, they celebrated the launch of a new era of growth for Verto in Kenya.
The Nairobi hub will serve not only Kenya but also neighbouring markets including Uganda and Tanzania. By anchoring our East African strategy in Nairobi, we aim to build a stronger foundation that unlocks global trade for every business, everywhere.
