Your wallet

Step 1

Wallet is on the bottom bar. It shows a balance, the daily rate for the vehicle you have live, and whether today’s fee has been taken yet.

The balance is not your earnings. A cash fare goes into your hand and a fare paid to your own bank QR goes into your bank — neither passes through here. Chapter 14 is about where your money actually arrives.

Step 2

The balance is read-only on this screen. It changes when you top up, when a daily fee is taken, and when credit moves between you and another driver.

Step 3

Top Up opens three ways to pay: a credit or debit card, OnePay, or LankaQR. All three are inside the app and all three credit your wallet immediately.

Step 4

LankaQR carries no surcharge. Card and OnePay carry OnePay’s processing fee, which is the payment company’s charge for taking the payment and not a MageRide commission.

There is no bank transfer option, and there never will be one — it was removed from the platform. If someone gives you a MageRide bank account to pay into, it is not MageRide.

Step 5

The same screen sells bulk credit vouchers at a discount, which is chapter 15. Buying one is simply a larger top-up that costs you less than its face value.

Step 6

Every top-up ends with a confirmation carrying a reference number, and you can save or share the receipt. Your whole history is under Payment history, and you can download a statement for any date range.

Step 7

MageRide warns you when the balance drops to its low-balance level, and you can set your own figure if you would rather be told earlier.

Step 8

A balance can go below zero — an adjustment made by MageRide, or a charge for a ride cancelled after you accepted it, can take it there. The screen then shows what you need to add to start working again.
