Two brothers, Abimbola and Olusola Amusan, are on a mission to revolutionize the migration experience for millions.

With tools like Virtual Dollar Cards and Vesti Wallets, Vesti provides essential support to immigrants, helping them navigate their new lives with ease.

The journey of Vesti began with the Amusan brothers’ personal experiences and challenges faced by migrants. Abimbola Amusan, co-founder of Vesti Technologies Inc, shared, “We developed the Vesti app to support more than 20 million young people in Africa and other countries of the world, who have aspirations to migrate to developed countries and potentially will have challenges in accessing the needed financial services for skilled migration opportunities to North America, Europe, and Australia by 2025.”
Olusola Amusan, co-founder, emphasized the global impact of their mission, stating, “We built an app for people all over the world, who desire to move to new countries for study or work and those who are seeking permanent migration to find the services and payment infrastructure that makes their journey less tedious.”
One user, Maria, shared her experience: “Vesti made my move to the UK so much easier. From handling my tuition payments to providing a community of support, I felt less alone in my journey.”
Vesti’s strategic expansions into key markets such as the UK, Ghana, and Zambia highlight its ambition and potential to make a significant impact. By addressing the unique challenges faced by immigrants, Vesti is poised to transform the migration landscape and improve the lives of millions.
The Vesti app offers a range of services accessible at the click of a button: sending and receiving money using an in-app wallet, commencing a relocation-specific savings plan, making payments for services like WES or SEVIS fees directly, accessing webinars and migration-related resources, and even tuition payment in local currency. These features ensure that migrants have a seamless financial experience, from planning their move to settling in their new homes.
Statistics show that over 20 million young people in Africa alone aspire to migrate to developed countries, facing numerous financial and legal hurdles. Vesti addresses these challenges head-on, providing a lifeline to those in need.
Join us in celebrating Vesti’s mission to create a more inclusive and supportive world for all.
