Global B2B payments platform Verto has launched a new strategic office in Lagos, deepening its commitment to the Nigerian and West African markets.
The new office, located in Victoria Island, will serve as Verto’s hub for the region, focusing on enhancing local customer support, strengthening real-time Naira liquidity, and developing new, tailored products.
Austin Okpagu, Country Director for Verto Nigeria, described the country as “Africa’s largest and most innovative fintech hub” and the “natural anchor” for the company’s regional 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,” Okpagu stated.
Verto, which processes over $25 billion in annual global transactions, already supports more than 5,000 Nigerian and African businesses. The company stated the new hub, which employs over 25 professionals, will also support the rollout of new solutions like Verto Atlas and enable closer engagement with local financial partners.
Ola Oyetayo, Co-founder and CEO of Verto, called the launch an “exciting milestone.”
“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,” said Oyetayo.
