Everything you need to know about Verto's new Marketplace

Updated over 7 months ago

We are delighted to announce the launch of our newly improved Marketplace.

Watch the video below to learn how the Verto Marketplace is revolutionising currency exchange; how it helps Verto's customers; and the key features the Marketplace has to offer.

We have relaunched our original Verto Marketplace with an updated user experience, a more intuitive interface and a focus on fulfilling trades between our users.

Verto's Marketplace is a peer-to-peer (P2P) foreign exchange solution for businesses. It's designed to connect businesses with a network of vetted counterparties to trade up to 14 global currencies at their desired rates.

On Verto's Marketplace, you can set your own exchange rates, negotiate the best rates with a wider pool of counterparties and complete currency swaps within 24 hours.

This innovative solution offer options for businesses who wish to buy or sell currencies. You can:

  • Sell Side: Advertise your desired exchange rate and find businesses willing to buy on your terms.

  • Buy Side: Explore businesses selling the currency you need, negotiate rates, and complete your transaction quickly and securely.

What we've kept the same:

Our Marketplace still allows you to:

  • Trade multiple currencies both exotic and G10 with other Verto users

  • Set rates or negotiate rates on trade.

What we've added:

  • You no longer have to commit the full amount while creating a trade; only a token amount is locked in your wallet. This allows you to explore potential deals and secure the best rates without significant risk.

  • You get a full 24 hours to send us the amount you committed to trades that are accepted.

  • No hidden fees. We display upfront the amount you will receive after the trade is complete.

  • All transactions take place within the Verto platform through a secure wallet system. This eliminates external risks and ensures all counterparties are KYC/AML verified, providing peace of mind for every trade.

  • Enjoy complete transparency with Verto Marketplace along with a dedicated customer support team ready to assist you with any queries or concerns. You'll also have access to a detailed transaction history within your Wallet for easy record-keeping.

How do I create my first Marketplace Trade?

Creating a trade on the marketplace takes less than a minute. Just follow these simple steps:

It’s also worth noting that if you create a counter trade, it will be made available for other Verto users to accept as well - so it may be that your trade is accepted by someone other than the trade creator that you were originally negotiating with.

  • Input the amount of currency you would like to sell. You could also choose to alter the rate, or the amount of currency you would like to receive, if you prefer

  • Choose how long to keep your trade valid for
