Verto has launched an Auto Exchange feature aimed at assisting rate-sensitive customers in securing targeted foreign exchange (FX) rates without continuous market monitoring.

• Customers can set their desired exchange rate and trade amount for automatic execution when the specified Verto rate is reached.
• Tomasz Bilakiewicz, Product Director at Verto, stated, “With Auto Exchange, businesses can set their parameters and trust Verto to execute automatically.”
• The feature particularly benefits SME operators, freelancers, and fintech platforms by reducing real-time manual tracking and optimizing time.
