Taxi Drivers and Private Hires

Passengers have no cash? Don't lose the fare. Stick a Paycilo QR code on your dashboard. They scan, pay via bank app, and you get the money instantly. 0% fees.

The Workflow

The “Cashless” Passenger Problem

Every driver knows the feeling: you arrive at the destination, and the passenger says, “I don’t have cash.” You don’t have a card machine because the monthly rental fees are too high. Now you have to drive them to an ATM or awkwardly wait while they figure out a transfer. It kills your hourly earnings.

The Dashboard Payment Terminal

Paycilo gives you a Printable Dashboard QR Code. You print it, laminate it, and stick it to the back of the headrest or on the dashboard.

When a passenger needs to pay, they just scan the code with their phone. Your bank details pop up. They tap “Copy,” switch to their bank app, and send the fare. The money lands in your account before they even open the door to leave.

Safety and Privacy on the Road

Drivers are understandably private. You don’t want every random passenger having your personal phone number (which is often required for mobile money transfers). Paycilo acts as a buffer. The passenger sees your Driver Profile and Bank Details, but not your private contact info. You stay safe while getting paid.

Better than Uber/Bolt Payments

Ride-hailing apps take 20-25% of your fare. When you build your own private client list (airport runs, regular commuters), you want to keep 100% of the money. Paycilo enables this. It gives you the professional payment infrastructure of an app, without the commission fees.

Texting account numbers is unprofessional. Add a Paycilo link to your invoice footer. Clients click, copy your details, and transfer securely from their bank.
