Stop sending transport money on promises.
You sent someone fare from Ntinda. They confirmed they're coming. Three hours later their phone is off. Somewhere your money is buying chapati rolex at a roadside. TumaFare fixes that. No arrival. No payment.

Sound familiar?
We've all been here before.
“I'm coming, just send the fare.”
“I'm almost at the stage.”
“My phone died.”
“Traffic was crazy, I couldn't make it.”
Then three hours later you're still waiting. Phone off. No arrival. Your money is gone.
TumaFare fixes that.

Sending or receiving?
TumaFare protects both sides. Senders don't get played. Recipients don't get chased for payment. Everyone gets a fair deal.
Sending the money?
Your payment stays protected until they arrive or deliver. You decide when it releases. They don't show up? You get it back. No arguments.
Receiving the money?
No chasing anyone for payment. Complete what was agreed, confirm your arrival, and the payment releases to your phone instantly. That's it.
Stuck in traffic? Ask for more time.
Kampala traffic is real. Request a time extension. Sender approves. Timer resets. No stress.
Prove you actually showed up.
Send a photo. Share your GPS. Build trust. Genuine people get paid every time. People who don't show up get nothing.
“I wasn't a scammer. I just had no fare and my friend didn't trust me yet. TumaFare gave me a way to prove I was genuine.”
A grateful recipient
If this has happened to you, this is for you.
Anyone in Uganda who has sent transport money and been ghosted, or paid for something that never arrived.
Your person who is always ‘almost at the stage.’
You send fare. They say they're coming. You send again. TumaFare means they only get paid when they actually arrive.
A boda rider collecting something.
Pay them after they return with what you sent them for. Not before. Deliver, confirm, get paid.
A family member travelling to see you.
Send fare from Kampala to Jinja. They travel, they arrive, they confirm. Payment releases. Done.
Someone delivering an item.
Pay only when the delivery actually reaches you. No more 'I delivered' when nothing arrived.
A seller you met online.
Pay them only after they deliver what was agreed. Jiji, WhatsApp, anywhere. If nothing comes, neither does the payment.
A friend asking for transport money.
You love them. But you also love your money. Send it protected. If they don't show, it comes back.
