Mamba (website)

By 2005, the site was reporting an estimated 4-5 million users, with the FINAM Investment Company purchasing a controlling interest in the company, as its service was rolled out to Ukraine, Belarus, Latvia, Lithuania, Estonia, Germany, the USA and Israel etc.

In 2006, the site strategy changed, with a new approach of consolidating its position in the market by process of partner acquisition and audience growth.

In July 2011, the structure of the site was changed: all registrations needed to be confirmed via mobile phone number.

[citation needed] In July 2012, Mamba changed its name to Wamba in order to keep expanding into new markets with a unified name.
