SafeBoda Uganda never ceases to amaze with its new product lists and features that they continue to add to their app. It started with Safeboda food, which even with its quacks manages to fit into lay man’s online food ordering lifestyle. It also had the airtime purchasing option.
Next on the list, Safeboda is planning to introduce a loaning service on its Safeboda Digital wallet. Safeboda users are soon getting loans on their digital wallets, these have been dubbed the Safeboda Wallet loans.
The details on how this loaning service intends to work for Safeboda users are not clear yet. Safeboda, however, published a link inviting users to join the waitlist.
This product is not out yet officially, but Safeboda has pushed it out smoothly. Possibly, we are enjoying it in the next few months. Let’s watch and see.

Safeboda intends to dominate the Cashless economy with its Safeboda Wallet loans
With this new Digital Wallet, Safeboda intends to overcome the send and withdraw charges that come with mobile money services providers. (That is Airtel, MTN, Africell and, UTL)
From my point of view, Safeboda is looking at becoming an independent cashless service provider which you can use for all your cashless transactions.
It intends to eliminate the transaction fees by having its users enjoy a cashless economy through Safeboda rides and Safeboda food. To add to this, there are airtime transactions (for self and others) that can be made through the app. Lastly, Safeboda also has package delivery services and paying for fuel with your credit.
All these four (5) products are powered by the Safeboda cashless wallet. Now, with the Safeboda Wallet loans, you will be empowered to top up more cash in case it runs out.

You can now stop imagining.
These new Safeboda wallet loans are intended to help you in case your cash from your Safeboda wallet is insufficient. You may be wondering, why would I need a loan from Safeboda anyways?

More to this, Safeboda food offers a free delivery option for its Cashless users, another reason to procure a loan through Safeboda wallet loans.
There’s a precaution however, you need to pay back the loan in 30 days.
