History
According to the company’s official story, WALLEX began as a small wallet business originally operating under the name Sankt Moritz. The founder launched the business after receiving an early wallet prototype but initially struggled due to limited sales and underestimating operating costs.
The business gained momentum during the rise of TikTok live selling while the founder was still a third-year medical student. Around early 2022, the brand was renamed WALLEX, inspired by the idea of aiming for rapid growth and modernizing the traditional wallet. Live selling significantly expanded its customer base, allowing the company to grow from a solo operation into a small team by 2023. [3]
