Uber has rolled out a feature in Nigeria that promises to revolutionize the way drivers receive their earnings.
Dubbed “Flex Pay,” this innovative initiative allows Uber drivers across the country to access their earnings daily, a significant departure from the previous weekly payment system.
The announcement came during a recent media briefing led by Tope Akinwumi, Uber Nigeria’s country manager.
Akinwumi expressed the company’s commitment to supporting its drivers by introducing Flex Pay, which aims to help drivers meet their financial obligations more promptly and efficiently.
With Flex Pay, drivers now have the flexibility to access their earnings directly through their mobile wallets on a daily basis.
This move is poised to bring about a host of benefits for drivers, offering them greater financial stability and control over their finances.
In addition to the introduction of Flex Pay, Uber also unveiled a set of new features designed to enhance the driver experience on the platform.
One such feature is the ability for drivers to see upfront details about a trip request, including the destination and expected fare.
This added transparency empowers drivers to make more informed decisions about which trips to accept, ultimately improving their overall experience on the platform.
Speaking about the new features, Akinwumi emphasized Uber’s commitment to prioritizing the needs and feedback of its driver-partners.
He highlighted the company’s ongoing efforts to innovate and develop solutions that enhance the driver experience and ensure their satisfaction with the platform.
“We are constantly listening to feedback from our driver-partners and striving to provide them with the tools and support they need to succeed,” said Akinwumi.
“The introduction of Flex Pay and other new features is a testament to our commitment to empowering our driver-partners and enhancing their experience on the Uber platform.”
The implementation of Flex Pay marks a significant milestone for Uber in Nigeria, demonstrating the company’s dedication to driving positive change and innovation in the ride-hailing industry.
As drivers begin to benefit from daily earnings and increased transparency, Uber is poised to strengthen its position as a leading provider of flexible earning opportunities in the country.
