How to grow your money app with truck drivers
By SendPay Business · · 2 min read
Truck drivers can spend days or weeks on the road, sometimes crossing several borders. They pay for fuel, food and parking along the way, and their families at home need money while they are gone. Carrying cash is risky, and bank branches are rarely where the road goes.
Talk to a few drivers
Ask truck drivers:
- How do you pay for fuel, food and parking on the road?
- How much cash do you carry, and how do you feel about it?
- How do you get money to your family while you are away?
- How do you get paid for each trip, and how long does it take?
Make paying on the road simple
A card or a phone payment that works at fuel stations and roadside stops means drivers can carry less cash and keep a record of what they spent.
Help them send money home
Let drivers send money to family in a few taps from wherever they are. Show the full cost and the amount that arrives before they send.
Grow where drivers stop
Drivers meet at truck stops, depots and border crossings, and many share tips in WhatsApp groups. A few drivers who trust your app can spread it along the whole route.
