Verto announced the opening of a new strategic hub in Nairobi, Kenya, on Thursday. This action reflects the company’s growing commitment to the East African region and its continuous efforts to make international trade easier for developing nations.
The Nairobi hub, which is situated at The Address, Muthangari Dr., Nairobi, Kenya, will act as the focal point of the company’s activities in East Africa and support Verto’s expanding clientele in the area.
It will improve the customer experience, foster regional alliances, and provide locally customised payment solutions to companies doing business internationally from the new hub.
Significance of Verto’s Nairobi hub
According to Ola Oyetayo, CEO and co-founder of Verto, the new hub signifies a strong commitment to one of the company’s most significant markets, not just a physical expansion.
Oyetayo says Kenya is a strategic gateway for the continent because of its digital infrastructure, entrepreneurial culture, and regional influence.
“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.
Verto’s strong performance in African markets and the increasing demand from companies seeking to pay partners, suppliers, and contractors internationally without the customary obstacles of exorbitant fees, delays, and a lack of transparency led to the decision to expand operations in Kenya.
Investment in local talent development
According to James Njoroge, operations manager for Verto in Kenya, the company intends to invest in local talent development and contribute to Kenya’s fintech ecosystem by generating employment opportunities and skill-building programs.
Njoroge continues that the hub will house operations, compliance, customer support, and partner engagement teams to fulfil Verto’s promise of seamless cross-border financial services.
“We’re thrilled to open our new hub in Nairobi officially. 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.
