Africa • View all jobsOur mission
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 six countries and are growing fast.
Our goal is to make Africa the first cashless continent and that's where you come in.....
How you'll help us achieve it
Wave is the fastest-growing start-up in Africa. In our quest to make Africa a cashless continent we are always looking for new talent to join our expansion team. If your country isn't listed on our career page please apply to this job by selecting the role and the country you would like to be considered for, answer our application questions and attach your resume, and cover letter in English.
What we mean when we say Launch

Why are we doing this before launch and how to apply it?
As we scale, we are anticipating our need for talent in our newest countries of operations. We would like to give every skilled professional with the desire to work on the African Continent the opportunity to join the adventure as we embark on making Africa the first cashless continent.
