Frontend Web Developer

At Verto, we're passionate about helping businesses in Africa reach the world. What first started life as a 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 Africa.

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 of payments and provide companies with solutions which help them to save money, automate processes and grow, but we're only just getting started.
