6. Can I request a cash out whenever I want?
The frequency with which you can request a cash out depends on your earnings and the processing time of your mobile money provider. Any remaining unpaid earnings (for example from trips undertaken after your last cashout) will be deposited to your bank account as usual for no charge during the regular weekly payout cycle.

9. *Why has InstantPay been disabled on my account?
There may be a few reasons why InstantPay is not enabled for your account

10. How can I add my Mobile Money account (Digital Wallet)?
You can click on the Wallet tab on your Driver App. You can then tap the ‘Payment Methods’ button. From there you can tap the ‘Add Mobile Money’ button. You will then have to enter your Mobile Money account details.
Important: Make sure you enter your mobile money phone number in the international format including the country code ‘233’. For example if your number is ‘0712345678’, you must enter ‘233712345678’.
Only MTN MoMo, AT Money and Telecel mobile money accounts are supported.
Mobile accounts that have been ported from one provider to another are not supported. For example, if you transferred your number from MTN to AirtelTigo (AT), your account is unfortunately not supported.
Cashouts to mobile money numbers not in the international format; other mobile money providers; or ported mobile money accounts will always fail!
For further information and support on why your account is not eligible for InstantPay you are encouraged to reach out to Support.
