Waza Introduces the Lync Platform for FX Liquidity

— January 22, 2025 — Lifestyle
Waza introduces Lync, a multi-currency platform for businesses operating in and serving emerging markets with fewer financial services. Many of these businesses, especially those started by local founders or in unique regions, face significant hurdles when trying to open bank accounts or secure loans because of strict compliance rules and other challenges. The problem has become even more challenging recently, as some financial providers have discontinued services for these businesses.

Lync offers multi-currency accounts in US Dollars (USD), Euros (EUR), British Pounds (GBP), and Nigerian Naira (NGN). The platform also supports ACH, Fedwire, SWIFT, and Faster Payments for UK-based customers. Overall, Lync aims to stabilize business operations and empower companies to thrive in competitive markets.
