About the company
Verto is a B2B cross-border payments and FX platform focused on helping businesses in emerging markets, particularly Africa, move money internationally with less friction. The company offers multi-currency accounts and payment rails that support payouts across many countries and currencies. Verto sells to startups, SMEs, and larger businesses that need faster settlement and better access to liquidity for global trade. The company was founded in 2017 and is headquartered in London.
Locations and presence
Verto is headquartered in London and operates through a multi-office footprint that includes hubs and teams in places such as Lagos, Nairobi, Cape Town, Pune, Dubai, and New York (coverage varies by source and time). Roles are a mix of office-based and hybrid arrangements, with some postings explicitly marked as hybrid in London.
Palpable Score
56.8
/ 100
Verto is a reasonable early-career bet if you find one of the few true graduate-friendly roles, but the overall hiring surface leans experienced and makes first-job entry less predictable. Candidate experience looks mixed: some interview loops feel well-run with timely coordination, while other reviews flag high-effort take-home tasks that can feel disproportionate. The score is capped by limited public evidence of structured onboarding for juniors and by a lack of published early-career outcomes like promotion timelines or conversion rates.
Pillar 1: Early-career access

Score

12.0
/ 20
  • The company has hired a clearly graduate-labelled role (“Marketing Graduate”) in London with “previous internship is a plus, but not required,” which is a real first-role entry point outside engineering.
  • Verto advertises ongoing hiring across many departments via a centralized jobs board, but most roles visible publicly are not framed as “0–2 years” or “new grad” pathways.
  • The company does not publish a recurring internship or graduate programme page with intake dates, eligibility rules, and conversion expectations, which makes early-career access feel opportunity-by-opportunity.

Pillar 2: Hiring fairness and transparency

Score

11.2
/ 20
  • The company has interview feedback showing structured steps in some processes, such as an initial talent call followed by a skills or aptitude assessment and then interviews with management or a panel.
  • Verto has candidate reports praising coordination and detailed feedback from talent staff, which matters for early-career candidates who need clarity on what “good” looked like.
  • The company also has candidate reports describing high-effort, role-specific tasks that felt close to unpaid consulting work, which is a fairness risk when candidates are asked to produce business-ready solutions.

Pillar 3: Learning and support

Score

11.0
/ 20
  • The company lists “Learning & development” as a stated benefit on the careers site, which is at least a visible commitment to ongoing skill-building.
  • Verto frames the Marketing Graduate role as hands-on exposure across campaigns, content, analytics, CRM, and events, with guidance from experienced marketing professionals as the role grows.
  • The company does not publish a junior onboarding plan, mentorship structure, or early-career training pathway by function, so learning support beyond role-by-role intent is hard to validate.

Pillar 4: Pay fairness and stability

Score

11.8
/ 20
  • The company markets a baseline benefits package that includes comprehensive health plans, generous holiday, and a pension plan, which supports stability for early-career hires in locations where those benefits apply.
  • Verto has public review aggregates suggesting compensation and benefits sit around the mid-range rather than clearly above-market, which is typical for scale-ups but still a watch-out for first-job candidates with limited negotiation leverage.
  • The company rarely publishes salary ranges on externally visible job ads, so early-career candidates have to do more guesswork on pay fairness before investing time in the process.

Pillar 5: Early-career outcomes

Score

10.8
/ 20
  • The company has public employee sentiment showing a majority “recommend to a friend” score and a mid-level “career opportunities” rating, suggesting outcomes are mixed rather than consistently fast-moving.
  • Verto has a public internal-growth story tied to the India office, where a long-tenured early regional hire is described as having grown into senior leadership as the local team expanded, which is a concrete progression signal even if anecdotal.
  • The company does not publish early-career outcomes like graduate retention, time-to-promotion, intern conversion, or internal mobility rates, which limits how confidently a candidate can predict progression.
