About the job
Our Mission
At Wave, we are committed to transforming Africa into the world's first cashless continent. In 2017, more than half of Sub-Saharan Africa's population lacked bank accounts due to high fees and distant branches. Many individuals resort to keeping their savings under mattresses, while small business owners face exorbitant lending rates. Parents often wait in long queues to pay for school fees in cash.
We are changing this narrative by providing financial services that are accessible, fee-free, and universally accepted. In regions where services like electricity and reliable transportation can be unreliable, you can still send money easily using Wave. Since our mobile app launch in Senegal in 2017, we have grown to millions of users across nine countries and continue to expand rapidly.
Your involvement will be crucial in achieving our goal of a cashless Africa.
