Vesti’s grand UK launch: Techstars-backed migration FinTech’s next big move

Vesti

Vesti, a migration FinTech backed by Techstars, marked its latest strategic expansion with a notable launch in the United Kingdom.

Building on their success and following strategic expansions into Ghana and Zambia earlier in the year, the launch in the UK underscores Vesti’s commitment to foster financial inclusion for immigrants on a global scale, empowering them throughout their migration journey.

Dedicated to assisting immigrants, Vesti provides tailored legal and financial solutions. Their vision is to establish themselves as the primary platform for global citizens of the next generation. By offering critical information, a supportive community, and smooth transitions, Vesti aids migrants in their move to a new homeland.

This vision, backed by investors from both Africa and the US, is cultivated from the experiences of immigrants, converging a network of forward-thinkers devoted to shaping the future.

Vesti’s innovative platform not only imparts invaluable information but also offers migration services that give unparalleled advice for those looking towards the US, Europe, and further. Their services include various visa options and efficient financial solutions, such as the Virtual Dollar Cards and Vesti Wallets. These tools allow for easy fund management across multiple currencies, positioning Vesti as a reliable ally for immigrants seeking a promising future.

Vesti Co-founder and CEO Olusola Amusan said, “In 2022, 1.2 million people arrived in the UK while 557,000 left, resulting in a net migration of 606,000 by June’s end. These figures from the Office for National Statistics (ONS) paint a dynamic picture of the UK’s evolving population. Vesti’s expansion into the UK is strategically aligned with its mission to empower immigrants worldwide. The UK’s significance as a gateway for migration-related activities makes it an essential destination for Vesti’s innovative platform.”
