WOW is more than cashless; it’s a catalyst for new digital opportunities.

The WOW initiative is more than a leap forward; it’s a leap toward inclusive prosperity. With WOW, we’re rewriting the rules of the road, ushering in a future where mobility is accessible, secure, and profoundly transformative. Come be part of this trailblazing movement as we unveil the WOW initiative, a roadmap to an industry that doesn’t just move people but uplifts communities and propels us into a brighter, more connected era.

More than Digital

The taxi industry will have its own Co-Operative bank, financing its vehicles and projects, reducing dependence on traditional financial institutions.

New revenue streams

Taxi owners can diversify their income streams through digital payments and other WOW services, such as insurance projects, ensuring financial stability.

Job Creation

As WOW expands, it will create numerous employment opportunities in the digital sector, fostering economic growth.
