Notre mission
Nous faisons de l’Afrique le premier continent sans argent liquide.
En 2017, plus de la moitié de la population d’Afrique subsaharienne n’avait pas de compte bancaire. Ce n’est pas sans raison : les frais sont trop élevés, l’agence la plus proche peut être à des kilomètres et personne ne prend les cartes. Sans accès aux institutions financières, les gens sont contraints de garder leurs économies sous le matelas. Les propriétaires de petites entreprises s’en remettent à des prêteurs qui pratiquent des taux exorbitants. Les parents passent des heures à faire la queue pour payer les frais de scolarité en espèces.
Nous résolvons ce problème en créant des services financiers qui fonctionnent tout simplement : sans frais de compte, disponibles instantanément et acceptés partout. Dans des endroits où l’électricité, l’eau et les routes ne fonctionnent pas toujours, vous pouvez quand même envoyer de l’argent avec Wave. En novembre 2017, nous avons lancé une application mobile au Sénégal pour le dépôt et le retrait d’espèces, ainsi que les paiements de pair à pair et d’entreprise. En 2019, nous nous sommes étendus à la Côte d’Ivoire. Aujourd’hui, nous avons des millions d’utilisateurs et nous nous développons rapidement. Notre objectif est de faire de l’Afrique le premier continent sans espèces. Et c’est là que vous entrez en jeu…..
