This is a step in the right direction for technology since we are moving towards a cashless economy. For long, there have been complaints about how riders with these ride-hailing apps normally claim not to have change so that they can take all your money. SafeBoda has been at the forefront of correcting this issue with their credit feature. With this, you just load credit on your SafeBoda account and then it will be deducted according to the amount of any ride you take. Initially, credit top-ups used to be via MTN mobile money and Airtel Money. The process has now been made easier as you can now top-up your SafeBoda account with selected SafeBodas.

You will be instantly topped up with no charges #RideCashless pic.twitter.com/ojO3WpFLSR — SafeBoda (@SafeBoda) April 3, 2019 Related Article: Wishlist: 5 Safeboda Features we would like to use
