We're making Africa the first cashless continent. In 2017, over half the population 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 2017, we launched a mobile app in Senegal for cash deposit, withdrawal, and peer-to-peer and business payments. Now, we have millions of users across 9 countries and are growing fast. Our goal is to make Africa the first cashless continent and that's where you come in... Product has always been very important to us at Wave, starting from day one with two very strong product-minded founders. Product Managers play a central role in our organization, impacting large chunks of the company around them, similar to the founders they were shaped after years ago. Our approach to building products may not be what you’ve seen in other places. Our processes are lightweight, informed by principles instead of methodologies and our PMs don’t just manage backlogs full of polished tickets. Read our write-up on product at Wave!
