About the webinar

The challenges of running a business across emerging markets, and how to solve them

Scaling efficiently across borders in emerging markets takes more than a growing customer base and a reliable supply chain.

It means navigating FX margins, correspondent fees, trapped working capital and settlement delays that never appear as a single line item, but add up fast.

Verto Co-Founder & CEO Ola Oyetayo will break it down live on 29 October, with Joke Akintara moderating. Walk away with a framework for seeing where those costs sit in your business, and what to do about them.
