3 Ways To TopUp Your SafeBoda Wallet.
In early 2017, SafeBoda launched a digital wallet that would enable all our customers to plan out their transport costs and get crazy savings on every trip.
We called the money deposited into this pre-paid wallet “Credit” because it was similar to prepaid products like airtime recharge.
The name has since been changed to SafeBoda Cashless, which speaks to our ambition to digitise the movement of money but that’s a story for another post.
We are currently incentivising our Cashless customers with special discounts on trips, airtime purchase and parcel deliveries. The good news is you can begin to unlock your savings today! All you have to do is top up your wallet and Go Cashless.
Here is how to top up your wallet:
1. Top up with a SafeBoda
This is the easiest way to top up. Essentially, any of our 12,000 SafeBodas are able to send Cashless direct to your SafeBoda wallet in exchange for an equal amount of money. The transaction is initiated by the SafeBoda. All you have to do is give them the phone number you use on the app. The great thing about this method is that it has zero transaction charges and is convenient because it can be done either before or after your trip. So the next time you take a SafeBoda trip, ask them to top you up.
2. Top up with Mobile Money
You can also top up with your mobile network provider. At the moment, you can top up with MTN Mobile Money and Airtel Money in Uganda and Safaricom Mpesa in Kenya.
Here’s how to top up with mobile money:
Step 1: Click the ‘Top up’ Button.
When you click this button, you will be required to enter the amount you want to add to your Cashless account and its source which in this case is your mobile money number.
Step 2: Enter payment details.
Enter an amount you want to top up and confirm the mobile money number you want to debit. To complete this part, click the Confirm Top Up button at the bottom of your screen and enter your mobile money PIN to confirm the transaction.
Step 3: SafeBoda wallet credited.
When the transaction is successful, your mobile money account will be debited and your SafeBoda cashless wallet will be credited.
Please note that every mobile money transaction will attract a small charge based on the amount you top up.
3. Share Cashless:
This is a new feature that we have built into the app to allow cashless customers to share money between themselves without attracting any transaction charges.
Any cashless customer can top up a cash customer using this feature. You can share cashless with any of your friends by following the steps below.
This feature has been built to bring the cost of doing domestic peer to peer transaction to zero Shillings but that’s also story for another blog.
