WAVE is the network that eliminates hidden fees, haggling, and inequitable costs to different members.
Membership in WAVE is transparent, fair, and designed to convey the exclusivity of belonging to a network that values simplicity, integrity, and innovation above all else.
Our unique hybrid pricing model ensures that every member, from established giants to emerging players, finds their place in our global community.
By focusing on a company’s potential, rather than the outdated model of counting offices, WAVE unlocks opportunities for your company’s growth and prosperity.
At WAVE, the safety and security of our members’ financial transactions is paramount.
WAVE provides members with a comprehensive mandatory financial protection program, ensuring the security of their interests when working with anyone in the network.
While WAVE encourages members to resolve any payment disputes or discrepancies mutually and respectfully, a claim must be submitted immediately upon disagreement.
WAVE does not benefit in any way from payment protection funds; all such funds are used to cover the costs associated with the program's administration.
This ensures a fair, neutral process, rooted in transparency and with a commitment to speedy resolution of claims.
Full details and requirements of the protection program and criteria for claim submission are provided upon member registration and approval.
