CD Branding Coordinator

About Wave Mobile Money

Wave Mobile Money is on a mission to transform Africa into the first cashless continent. In 2017, more than half of Sub-Saharan Africa's population lacked bank accounts due to high fees, distant branches, and lack of card acceptance. This lack of access left many to keep savings insecurely, rely on costly lenders, and spend time on cumbersome cash transactions. Wave addresses this by offering accessible financial services without account fees, accessible instantly and accepted everywhere, even in regions with unreliable infrastructure. Launched initially in Senegal in 2017, the mobile app now boasts millions of users across nine countries and continues rapid expansion.
