SafeBoda last week on March 23rd officially launched its own mobile money payment service which will see the motorcycle-hailing company compete with players in the same space like telecommunication companies and a range of apps offering the same services. The service was first seen in a beta version of the SafeBoda app by beta testers including PC Tech Magazine before officially launching it to the public.

“Our mobile money payments service is now open for all customers to use and enjoy the convenience and affordability that comes with it,” Ricky Rapa Thomson, Co-Founder and Director of Ops at SafeBoda told the press at the launch event that was held at Lazio’s bar and restaurant in Kololo. He adds, “Our ambition is to help Ugandans be able to receive better travel and payment services with safety, affordability, and convenience as our key value propositions.”
