Happy New Week! Today on our employee spotlight is Yacine DIOP, Business Development Manager based in Senegal who joined Wave in January of 2021. This is her story: "In 2021, I embarked on a journey to renew my experience. I was yearning for increased performance, more significant challenges to overcome, enhanced flexibility, and, above all, a departure from traditional ways of working. During this period, I received several job offers and after careful consideration, I chose to accept Wave’s offer - a company I only knew vaguely. It wasn't a leap into the unknown but a strong intuition. This intuition led me to a company where I could bring my skills, learn new things, and, most importantly, align with values and principles that complement mine. Looking back, I can proudly say that my performance and contributions have played a significant role in the company's growth." Thank you, Yacine, for sharing your inspiring Wave journey. Your contributions have been invaluable to our growth, and we're grateful to have you on our team! 💙

Wave is building a cashless Africa in Senegal, Cote d'Ivoire, Uganda, Burkina Faso, Gambia & Mali. Find us @www.wave.com
About us
We're making Africa the first cashless continent. In 2017, nearly 60% of adults in sub-Saharan Africa had no bank account. That's for good reason—the fees are too high, the closest branch can be miles away, and nobody takes cards. Without access to financial institutions, people are forced to keep their savings under the mattress. Small business owners rely on lenders who charge extortionate rates. Parents spend hours waiting in line to pay school fees in cash. We're solving this by building financial services that just work: no account fees, instantly available, and accepted everywhere. In places where electricity, water and roads don't always work, you can still send money with Wave. In November 2017, we launched a mobile app in Senegal for cash deposit, withdrawal, and peer-to-peer and business payments. In 2019, we expanded to Cote D'Ivoire. Now, we have millions of users and are growing fast. Our goal is to drive financial inclusion and make Africa the first cashless continent.

Happy Friday! ✨ Today, we are flashing back to when our team in Côte d'Ivoire celebrated Father's Day in a unique way. The team organized a culinary competition with the theme “Travel around the world with chicken”. Six team members from different departments showcased their cooking skills. The judges got to taste and rate all the amazing chicken dishes and boyyyy…they really impressed us all! It was such a fun experience, and moments like these truly reiterate the team spirit and culture we're cultivating at Wave despite our diverse backgrounds. 💙 Enjoy the weekend!
