Verto, a payments platform, has launched Atlas, a new suite of API-first tools designed to simplify cross-border payments for businesses operating across Africa. These tools aim to address challenges like differing regulations, volatile currencies, and fragmented banking systems that hinder the growth of digital businesses on the continent.

• Atlas offers a single API integration for banking, foreign exchange (FX), and payments, enabling businesses to embed global financial services into their own products.
• Ola Oyetayo, CEO and Co-founder of Verto, stated that Atlas is a transformative solution to accelerate growth by eliminating hurdles businesses face in scaling operations across borders.
• The Atlas Suite includes offerings such as Atlas for Fintechs (multi-currency accounts, international payments in 12+ African markets and 100+ countries), Atlas for Platforms (embedded payment and FX tools for non-financial businesses), and White Label Broker Services.
• Triply, a Kenyan travel-tech company, is an early adopter, integrating Atlas to offer embedded payment solutions to its clients across Africa.
