Waza
Waza is a Y Combinator-backed (W23) B2B payments and liquidity platform that helps businesses in emerging markets - starting with Nigeria and Ghana - pay global suppliers, hold multi-currency balances, and access USD without the friction of traditional correspondent banking. Founded in 2023 by fintech veterans Maxwell Obi and Emmanuel Igbodudu, the company processes hundreds of millions of dollars in annual payment volume and in 2025 launched Lync, a multi-currency banking product positioned as an alternative to Mercury for African startups.
