Africa has long faced fragmented financial systems, with complex regulations, limited local banking access, high operational costs, and volatile currencies, making it extremely hard to move money.

Verto unveils The Atlas Suite, a suite of API-first embedded finance solutions that enables financial institutions, online marketplaces, and digital platforms to integrate global payment services seamlessly through a single API.

Atlas removes these barriers, providing instant access to local accounts, deep FX liquidity, and compliant infrastructure across 49 currencies. This enables businesses to expand into and out of Africa, process payments across the region, and unlock new opportunities for growth and cross-border trade.

‘Atlas for Fintechs’ enables fintechs, banks, and other financial institutions to integrate Verto’s banking, FX, and payment infrastructure directly into their platforms, eliminating the need to build internal solutions or secure multiple local licenses. Through a single integration, financial institutions can now offer local virtual accounts to their customers in over 12 markets, execute FX 24/7 and instantly between 49 currencies, and make international payments to over 100 countries—with payments coming out in their businesses’ names. 

Similarly, ‘Atlas for Platforms’ enables non-financial businesses—such as marketplaces or e-commerce platforms to embed financial services directly into their existing products by leveraging Verto’s licensing and infrastructure. This enables any business to seamlessly embed payments, banking, and FX, eliminating the need for licensing, expertise, and in-house development. 

‘Atlas for Platforms’ also provides white label brokers a rapid, cost-effective path to offering Africa-focused financial services to their clients. The solution enables them to offer Verto’s services under their own brand and mark up FX at their desired rate, creating a powerful new income stream without the operational burden.

Speaking on the launch, Ola Oyetayo, CEO of Verto, said, “We have seen firsthand how complex and costly it is for businesses to expand into new markets and move money, especially across Africa. Atlas is a game-changer, removing these barriers and giving our partners the freedom to grow.”

With the advanced embedded financial capabilities, businesses can open local collection accounts across Africa, manage multiple sub-accounts with centralized treasury tools, and move seamlessly between currencies with built-in FX options. The solution will also support last-mile payouts, enabling remittance providers and payroll companies to execute mass payments instantly via bank transfer or mobile money—all fully compliant with regional regulations.

Readily accessible, this new solution is now being leveraged with companies such as Triply, a  Kenyan based travel-tech platform offering an operating system for travel businesses. Triply leverages Verto to seamlessly embed cross-border payment capabilities into its platform, giving customers faster, more reliable, and fully compliant financial services across multiple currencies and markets
