Verto, a leading global B2B payments platform, has officially launched the Atlas Suite, a next-generation API-first embedded finance solution designed to simplify and power cross-border transactions. The suite is tailored for fintechs, digital marketplaces, and platforms that are looking to seamlessly scale across Africa and beyond. By integrating banking, foreign exchange, and payment services through a single API, Atlas offers a unified infrastructure built with scalability and compliance at its core.
Africa’s financial ecosystem continues to be challenged by fragmentation, regulatory complexity, limited access to traditional banking, and high currency volatility. Atlas directly addresses these issues by offering businesses instant access to local accounts, deep FX liquidity, and robust infrastructure that supports 49 currencies across multiple markets. This provides a reliable foundation for businesses to scale while navigating Africa’s diverse financial environments.
According to Verto CEO and Co-founder Ola Oyetayo, Atlas was created to eliminate long-standing challenges that companies face in expanding across African borders. With Atlas, fintechs, digital banks, and financial institutions can easily integrate Verto’s infrastructure without the burden of securing local licenses or building costly in-house systems. The suite enables opening of local virtual accounts in more than 12 African markets, execution of real-time FX transactions across 49 currencies, and sending payments to over 100 countries.
For non-financial businesses such as e-commerce, logistics, and travel tech platforms, Atlas provides the ability to embed financial services directly into their products. This opens new opportunities for growth while bypassing regulatory and technical hurdles. The suite also includes an end-to-end white-label option for brokers, enabling them to offer branded cross-border financial services, set their own pricing, and unlock new revenue streams without heavy operational overhead.
The innovation is already being adopted in Africa, with Kenya’s Triply, a Nairobi-based travel-tech company, among the early users. By integrating Atlas, Triply is empowering travel businesses with embedded multi-currency payment solutions, lowering transaction costs, ensuring compliance, and accelerating settlement times. This adoption showcases the transformative potential of Atlas in driving efficiency and innovation across industries.
With features such as local collection accounts, centralized treasury tools, and last-mile payouts via bank transfers and mobile money, Atlas is designed to meet Africa’s most pressing needs in payroll, remittances, and bulk payments. Verto is positioning itself as a key enabler of Africa’s digital transformation, breaking down long-standing barriers to financial inclusion and cross-border trade, while helping businesses of all sizes scale seamlessly.
