Vesti, a leading provider of legal and financial solutions for global migrants, has officially expanded its operations to Kenya, furthering its mission to simplify migration and cross-border financial services for individuals and businesses in the region.
This expansion follows a significant milestone in 2024—the launch of Vesti’s state-of-the-art software engineering office in Lagos, representing a ₦1 billion investment in Nigeria’s traveltech sector. With successful entries into Ghana, Zambia, the UK, and now Kenya, Vesti is accelerating its global footprint, with ambitious plans to expand into Bangladesh, India, and Pakistan by 2025.
Driving Innovation in Migration and Financial Services
Co-founded by Olusola and Abimbola Amusan, Vesti offers AI-powered legal and financial services tailored for immigrants, including remittance solutions, foreign exchange services, and compliance support. The company has maintained cash-positive operations in H1 2024 and is now preparing for a Series A funding round to fuel its next phase of global expansion.
Speaking on the Kenya launch and the company’s talent acquisition strategy, Olusola Amusan highlighted the importance of building a sustainable ecosystem for migration fintech.
“Vesti Kenya is a key pillar of our Africa expansion strategy as we aim to serve an additional one million customers in 2025.
As we grow across Africa, we are actively looking for top talent to drive innovation and scalability. Kenya presents not only a strategic market for business growth but also a rich talent pool that aligns with our vision of fostering cross-border collaboration and long-term financial inclusion.”
Shaping the Future of Migration Fintech
With a mission to empower one billion immigrants globally, Vesti’s expansion into Kenya represents a crucial step in transforming cross-border financial services. As the company continues to scale, its impact on global migration, financial inclusion, and regulatory technology solutions is set to redefine the future of migration fintech.
