About Wave

Wave is on a mission to transform Africa into the first cashless continent. In 2017, more than half of Sub-Saharan Africa's population lacked access to banking due to high fees, distant branches, and limited card usage. This led people to keep savings in unsafe ways, rely on expensive lenders, and struggle with cash payments. Wave provides financial services that are free of account fees, instantly accessible, and widely accepted—offering a mobile app launched initially in Senegal for easy cash deposits, withdrawals, and both peer-to-peer and business payments. The company now serves millions across nine countries and continues to expand rapidly.
