    A founder

    Wallet Hero is a subscription model for e-hailing drivers, offered as an alternative to commission-based ride-hailing. The founders started it after seeing the model used in India and other African markets but not in South Africa.

    “Upon doing our research, actually, in Africa, they're adopting to a subscription model for the e-haling part, but we don't have it in our own country.”
