Verto has unveiled the Atlas Suite, a next-generation embedded finance product designed to streamline cross-border payments for financial institutions, marketplaces, and digital platforms.
The Atlas Suite provides a single API integration that allows businesses to embed banking, foreign exchange (FX), and payment services into their operations. According to Verto, the solution is built for scalability and compliance.
Cross-border trade in Africa remains hampered by fragmented financial systems, regulatory hurdles, limited access to banking infrastructure, and high FX volatility. These increase costs and slow down trade and digital commerce across the continent.
Atlas enables last-mile payouts through both bank transfers and mobile money. This is critical in mobile-first economies such as Kenya, Ghana, and Tanzania.
Ola Oyetayo, CEO and co-founder of Verto, noted: “We have witnessed the hurdles businesses face in scaling operations across borders, especially in African markets. Atlas is built to eliminate these challenges and accelerate growth.”
The suite is segmented into three core offerings tailored to different business needs:
- Atlas for Fintechs – Enables fintechs, digital banks, and financial institutions to integrate Verto’s banking, FX, and payments stack without needing local licensing or heavy system development.
- Atlas for Platforms – Non-financial platforms can easily embed financial services into their products.
- White Label Broker Services –This lets brokers deliver cross-border financial services while still having control over the pricing and also creating new revenue streams with little upfront investment.
Kenya’s Travel-tech startup Triply, which provides software solutions for travel businesses, has integrated Atlas to support multi-currency payments.
