A driver’s balance can be managed in 2 ways:

1. Added

2. Deducted

How to add funds to a driver’s balance

1. Through the Driver app:

go to the side menu > open the “Wallet” tab > press “Top up” >

a. Select “card” > attach a credit card/or use the one already added to the Payment methods > top the balance up.

b. Select the available Mobile money method (if activated by the company) > top the balance up with it as per the offered steps

2. Via "Change balance” in a driver’s profile in My hub

A driver brings cash to the office > a manager should go to the driver's profile > open the “more items” menu > choose "Change balance" > select “Add” > specify the value in the field Amount > select Transaction type if necessary (“Other” is set as the default value) > leave a Comment if needed > press "Save".

The following “Add” balance transaction types are available

Other
