Global B2B payments leader Verto has strengthened its West African presence with the launch of a new strategic office in Lagos, Nigeria, underscoring its long-term commitment to providing businesses across the region with reliable, seamless, and affordable cross-border payment solutions.
Situated at 21 Ahmed Onibudo Street, Victoria Island, the Lagos office will serve as a key hub for enhancing local customer support, developing tailored financial products, and improving real-time Naira liquidity access. The facility will also deepen collaboration with Nigerian regulators and strategic financial partners, supporting the rollout of innovative offerings such as Verto Atlas.
Commenting on the launch, Austin Okpagu, Country Director for Verto Nigeria, said “As Africa’s largest and most innovative fintech hub, Nigeria offers a dynamic environment for digital trade, entrepreneurship, and financial innovation, making it the natural anchor for Verto’s West African operations. This hub allows us to respond faster to client needs, craft solutions tailored to local markets, and work even more closely with regulators and financial partners across the region.”
Since its inception, Verto has empowered more than 5,000 Nigerian and African businesses to streamline their cross-border payments and foreign exchange operations with greater efficiency and transparency. Nigeria remains one of the company’s top-performing markets, contributing to its impressive $25 billion USD in annual global transactions across 200+ countries and 49 currencies.
Verto’s inclusion in Deloitte’s UK Technology Fast 50 ranking highlights its rapid growth and increasing influence in the global fintech landscape.
The Lagos office launch was marked by an exclusive event attended by enterprise clients, strategic ecosystem partners, regulatory stakeholders, and members of the Verto team.
Ola Oyetayo, Co-founder and CEO of Verto, remarked “This office opening marks an exciting milestone for Verto and for the businesses we serve across West Africa. It reflects our commitment to fostering innovation, creating new opportunities for growth, and providing the financial infrastructure companies need to thrive in an increasingly connected regional economy.”
With a dedicated team of over 25 professionals, the new Lagos hub will enable Verto to deepen financial integration and enhance cross-border connectivity across West Africa, empowering more businesses to scale beyond their local markets with ease.
