Step 4 — What the review checks

The BookMaMe team verifies your documents and assesses:

  • Coverage claims — are the stated zones serviceable?
  • Fleet plausibility — is the rider count realistic for the coverage?
  • COD capability — confirmed if you'll handle cash collections

This typically takes a few business days.


Step 5 — Approval and activation fee

On approval you receive the approval fee amount and a payment link. Pay via Paystack; once paid (or waived), your account is created.
