Wave: Making Africa the First Cashless Continent

Ahoy, there! Meet Wave, a fintech company on a mission to transform Africa into the first cashless continent. Why, you ask? Well, in 2017, over half the population in Sub-Saharan Africa had no bank account. High fees, distant branches, and a lack of card acceptance made financial services a luxury many couldn't afford. That's where Wave comes in, building financial services that are accessible, affordable, and accepted everywhere.

Wave first set sail in Senegal in November 2017, launching a mobile app for cash deposits, withdrawals, and peer-to-peer and business payments. They later expanded to Cote d'Ivoire in 2019, and now boast millions of users and rapid growth. Their goal? To make Africa the first cashless continent, of course!

A Team of Passionate Pioneers

Wave's crew consists of a rapidly growing in-country team spread across Senegal, Côte D'Ivoire, Mali, Burkina Faso, Gambia, and Uganda, as well as remote team members around the world. They're deeply passionate about their mission of bringing radically affordable financial services to those who need them most.

At Wave, autonomy is the name of the game. Employees own their projects from start to finish, ensuring they have the freedom and responsibility to make a real impact. Wave's journey is backed by world-class investors like Founders Fund, Sequoia Heritage, Stripe, Ribbit Capital, Y Combinator, and Partech Africa.

An Inclusive Ship to Sail

Wave believes in equal opportunity and celebrates diversity. They're committed to creating an inclusive environment for all their employees, making sure everyone has a chance to contribute to their ambitious quest.

So, if you're looking to join a fintech company that's making waves (pun intended) in Africa's financial landscape, look no further than Wave. Hop aboard and help them make history as they turn Africa into the first cashless continent!
