Verto is hiring Product Designer

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 believe that where you do business shouldn’t determine how successful you are or your ability to scale. Millions of companies a day have to juggle long settlement periods, high transaction fees, and issues accessing liquidity in order to trade with African businesses. We’re on a mission to change this by creating equal access to easy payment and liquidity solutions that are already a given in developed markets.

We’re not alone in realising the opportunity and need to solve for Emerging Markets. We’re backed by world-class investors including Y-Combinator, Quona, and MEVP, power payments for some of the most disruptive start-ups in the world, and have a list of accolades from leading publications, including being voted ‘Fintech Start-Up of the Year’ at Fintech Awards London 2022.

Each year, we process billions of dollars in payments and provide companies with solutions that help them save money, automate processes, and grow, but we’re only just getting started.
