KAMPALA, UGANDA: SafeBoda Uganda Ltd has announced a budding partnership with Rubis Energy Uganda that will see SafeBoda customers and riders buy fuel at discounted prices at Rubis fuel stations
“SafeBoda riders will be getting their fuel at 4,500/= at select fuel stations only if they are paying using the SafeBoda app. Customers who wish to purchase fuel using their SafeBoda wallet will get their fuel cheaper by 100/= per liter from the board prices,” reads part of the statement issued by Rubis.
Ricky Rapa Thomson, SafeBoda’s Co-founder and Director, said that the partnership is part of their efforts to offer distinguished services to their clients.
“At SafeBoda we strive to add value to the communities that we serve whether it is our driver community or our customers; we believe in adding value to them. For our drivers, fuel has been a big issue with the prevailing uncertainty in the market. Our partnership with Rubis Energy Uganda will enable our drivers to do their work efficiently. We are also extending this same token to our customers to enjoy the service,” Thomson said.
To enjoy the affordable services from this partnership, SafeBoda customers and riders will have to keep money on their SafeBoda wallets.
“Once at the select stations, a driver or customer needs to approach the fuel Agent to make the fuel purchase. A customer can complete the payment by using the Pay feature on the app, and search for the Rubis station under the Merchant section. On the other hand, the rider is required to complete a cashless transfer to the Agent,” he said.
Olivier Gatera, Rubis Energy Country Manager, said that through this partnership, they will be able to add value to their customers by offering them high quality fuel, Rubis Ultratec Petrol or Diesel at a discounted price.
“Rubis Ultratec fuel is designed to clean the engine, enhance performance, and fuel economy with less emissions. SafeBoda users can now enjoy the benefits of our premium fuel at various Rubis Stations countrywide,” he said .
SafeBoda has since carried out several initiatives to ensure that its riders increase their uptake of cashless payments.
SafeBoda drivers can now be able to enjoy discounted fuel purchases if they use cashless as a means of paying for it. The cashless system of payments enables a big percentage of the SafeBoda drivers to save their earnings for a rainy day.
The discounted service between SafeBoda and Rubis Energy is limited to 20 conveniently located fuel stations where customers and SafeBoda drivers can be able to access the service.
SafeBoda recently acquired a National Payments Services license from Bank of Uganda which allowed the company to operate digital wallets for Ugandans.
As part of its mission to offer affordable services to its customers and driver community, the company has teamed up with Rubis Energy Uganda to offer fuel at a discount.
