Why Verto is more than just FX

New Domain Blog

Today marks an inflection point in the Verto journey—a change that is small on the surface but represents the immense ambition and capabilities we have built underneath. vertofx.com is now officially verto.co.

For those who have been with us, you know that Verto was born out of a core frustration: the complexity and opacity of cross-border foreign exchange. We built a platform to give businesses in emerging markets a fair shot, ensuring they got the best rates and the clarity they deserved. We became known for our deep expertise in FX, forming the foundation upon which we stand today.

But the truth is, Verto has always been about something bigger than just exchanging currencies. Our goal is to build an entire infrastructure that enables genuine global trade.

The evolution from tool to platform

The primary challenge for any business operating globally, especially in emerging markets across Africa, the Middle East, or Asia, is not just the rate they get on a currency swap. It's the friction—the slow settlement times, the opaque compliance headaches, and the outright lack of access to crucial markets.

That's why we’ve transitioned from being vertofx to simply Verto, the platform.

Our shift to verto.co isn’t just a new domain name; it’s a confident declaration of our full power. We are not just a tool for currency conversion anymore; we are the seamless cross-border payment platform built to unlock global growth, particularly in emerging markets.

We offer access not rates

Our value proposition is no longer defined by simply offering a better exchange rate. While our FX capabilities remain a necessary and powerful underlying engine, our key differentiator today is unmatched access and payment rails into the markets that are hardest to reach.

We know that for a business trading with an emerging market, getting a good rate is useless if the payment takes a week to clear, fails due to compliance roadblocks, or simply can’t be sent at all.

Our commitment is to move your money quickly, cost-effectively, and compliantly into emerging markets like Nigeria, Kenya, South Africa, as well as the UAE, UK, US and China. We've built the network so you don't have to. We've tackled the complexity so you can focus on growth.

We have three major proucts including Business Accounts, FX and  Atlas. 

  • Business Accounts: Customers can open a multi-currency account for their business in minutes, enabling them to collect payments in up to 49 currencies instantly from anywhere in the world. Customers can also open a local EUR, GBP, USD, NGN, KES, ZAR & DKK accounts in minutes from anywhere. 

  • FX: Customers can convert currencies with confidence, protecting their profit and maximising their return with competitive currency conversion rates five times lower than high-street banks.

  • Atlas: An embedded finance solution offering advantageous rates and seamless payments within your platform. 

This is the payment revolution we've been building toward.
