Vesti Expands to Kenya, Strengthening Its Mission to Empower Global Migrants

Vesti, the preferred provider of legal and financial services for humans going global, has expanded its operations to Kenya, bringing its innovative solutions to simplify migration and cross-border financial services for Kenyans.

In 2024, Vesti celebrated a major milestone—the opening of its state-of-the-art software engineering office in Lagos, a ₦1 billion investment in Nigeria’s traveltech sector. Now, with successful expansions into Ghana, Zambia, the UK, and Kenya, the company is gearing up for further global growth, with plans to enter Bangladesh, India, and Pakistan in 2025.

Co-founded by Olusola and Abimbola Amusan, Vesti provides comprehensive legal and financial services for immigrants, including AI-powered support, remittances, and foreign exchange solutions. With cash-positive operations in H1 2024, the company is now targeting a Series A funding round to accelerate its global expansion.

Speaking about the Kenyan expansion and talent acquisition push, Olusola Amusan emphasized Vesti’s commitment to building a robust ecosystem that fosters cross-border collaboration and talent exchange.

“Vesti Kenya is the new kid on the block and cements our Africa Expansion strategy as we aim to serve 1 million more customers in 2025.

As we expand across Africa, we are actively seeking talent that can contribute to our growth and innovation. Kenya, for instance, presents significant opportunities—not just for business expansion but also for tapping into a rich pool of talent. It’s about building a robust ecosystem that fosters cross-border collaboration and talent exchange, ensuring sustainable growth across the continent.”

With a mission to empower one billion immigrants worldwide, Vesti’s expansion signals a major step toward transforming migration fintech and cross-border financial services. As the company scales new heights, its impact on global migration and financial inclusion continues to grow.
