New fintech Wajve launches

The start-up's target group is young people. The founders are well-known in the fintech scene.

The DeineStudienfinanzierung team is launching a new fintech called Wajve. Wajve is a financial platform that combines everyday banking, advice and education in one app, according to a press release. The financial app is aimed at Generation Z, i.e. people like Krautwald who were born in 1996 or later. The average age of the target group is 21.

Jenny Boldt will be Head of Growth. She comes from the digital association Bitkom. Caroline Delvenne, who previously worked at Insurtech Wefox, will become Head of Marketing. "I am delighted to now be part of Wajve and, together with an incredibly passionate team, to strengthen the generation of tomorrow in all financial topics," says Delvenne. Wajve is still looking for 20 people for jobs in marketing and product development.

"With DeineStudienfinanzierung, we have created a platform that students love and trust," says Grüner Bastian Krautwald. "With Wajve, we are now continuing on our path of empowering the younger generation by supporting them in all financial matters beyond the topic of student financing. Now we will also support them in their everyday financial affairs."
