Product Manager - Payments
VertoFX
Product
London, UK
Posted on Apr 11, 2025
At Verto, we’re passionate about helping businesses in Emerging Markets reach the world. What first started 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 face long settlement periods, high transaction fees, and challenges accessing liquidity when trading with African businesses. We’re on a mission to change this by creating equal access to payment and liquidity solutions that are already a given in developed markets.
We’re not alone in recognising the opportunity and need to solve for emerging markets. Backed by world-class investors, including Y-Combinator, Quona, and MEVP, we power payments for some of the most disruptive start-ups in the world. Our accolades include being voted ‘Fintech Start-Up of the Year’ at the Fintech Awards London 2022.
Each year, we process billions of dollars of payments, helping businesses save money, automate processes, and grow — but we’re only just getting started.
