You can now eliminate the middleman in your business transactions simply by using the Marketplace function on our platform.

The VertoFX’s Marketplace is a service that brings businesses around the world together and enables them to exchange currencies at cheaper rates and at their own convenience.

The Problem

Imagine trying to exchange money and the rates are not favourable to you. Making an exchange using traditional banks is often limiting because of the fixed rates they offer.

An added pain point is you either need the money immediately (Exchanges like this normally take a longer time) or you need it in a week (exchange rates are unpredictable and a lot can happen in a week). Either way, you are in a tight corner.

Still don’t get it?

For instance, a bank in an African Country may not have a strong relationship with a bank in America. They would have to go through a bank in the United Kingdom to act as middle men for them to make the exchange. Not only does this take longer time, it is also more expensive. VertoFX provides a solution where you get to receive your money on your own terms.

-You can then negotiate with the other businesses until you reach an agreement. You would receive an automatic message when a bid has been accepted by the other party you are trading with. Once, a final agreement is reached, both businesses have to honour the trade.

Is it safe?

Very safe. Both businesses have to transfer the money into Verto’s escrow account for safe keeping.
