Uber just launched in Cork, their help centre is poor.
I'm all good to go bar 1 issue.
How to take a photo of a bank statement, as I havent gotten a bank statement in many years,
all I have is an online photo from my PC of my bank statement, which at the moment is not being accepted.
-
Maybe they're looking for a 'real' copy of the bank statement. If so, open one of your statements and right-click to save it as a pdf. Then upload the pdf file?

There is no option to upload a file, only just to take a photo.

Are ya gonna get uber stickers as well Ken?
-
Yu can get a statement at ATM Ken I tink ?
2 options ...1 a receipt roll out the machine which obviously is useless ....but yu can order a full statement posted ....
-
Have you an app for your bank Ken? I've one for aib. I can print off statements from the app, perhaps you can too.

There is Ken.....hit the "take a photo" option and it should give you the option to take a photo or upload....I generally take photos on a white background(our bay window sill) and then upload them,just did it a few weeks ago.

Belker must have heard that the they pay for advertising on the car.At least he will get some financial reward for selling his hole.
Couldn't do it myself but it's tempting.
-
Is this not them trying to worm their way in to getting rideshare? I wouldn't have anything to do with them.
Don't take their soup.
-
All the apps have the same objectives 1990.They wanna make money from moving people around and they don't care who is driving.

They pay for advertising? Jasus Ken, I can see them fn stickers getting whipped off yer jammer fairly sharpish.

I know, I will never sign up to any of them, Uber are a horrible company, no way would I sell my soul and make money for them.
-
1990 If you work in a big city and (especially on the days) you'll be a significantly down on your takings if you choose to take the moral high ground and not work any of the apps.It's just the most efficient way to work in Dublin for most of us.
I've three apps.The ranks are hit and miss and to be honest they're mostly full of pensioner drivers who are hoping for cash work.Even the rank passengers now wanna by card so it's not worth it for me anymore.

"They pay for advertising? Jasus Ken, I can see them fn stickers getting whipped off yer jammer fairly sharpish."
Yeah I deleted the email but I think they're giving €80 a month for a car wrap until the middle of 2023.Better than the SFA that Freenow offer.
-
But do they give medals? Some of us just love the aul medals.

Seems to be very hard to hail a taxi in Dublin city, probably because most drivers are working for the apps. I'd definitely take my chances driving around and parking in a rank, up there.
-
Yeah 1990 come up and see how you get on.If it was easy to move at around and get flagged down we'd do it ourselves.You only hear about the few hours at the weekend that passengers can't get out of town.The rest of the week there's not the same demand.All you hear are the whinging passengers who expect empty taxis to pass them every 30 seconds.
By the way most of my rank work now ask to pay by card so there is no incentive to park up versus taking an app job.Some lads on here thought we'd take the work back off the apps when card payments became mandatory but all I got was even less cash work off the street.
It's not unusual to park on a rank and have a passenger using apps right in front of you.They don't give a shit.They just want a taxi on their app.

its usually day time in Dublin when I need taxis. I always just hail one when I can find one or go to a rank.
would the majority of drivers turn off the apps when its busy weekend nights?
-
Dunno about the night shift but the apps are really difficult to operate when they get busy.They crash and offer phantom jobs so they are probably turned off out of irritation.
What rank does be empty when you are in Dublin?I work them all and if they're empty its because there isnt much happening there.

I find it funny that the apps don't get anything when its busy at night, id say they hate that. ;D
the one outside Connolly station for one.
-
Connolly is usually full of taxis unless you're one of the 50,000+ people going to a match in the Aviva & looking for a taxi after getting off the train or DART or LUAS.

That would be me in fairness. I have got taxis from the rank on O Connell street a few times.
-
Another issue with Conolly is the continuous white line outside.Empty taxis driving passed on the opposite side of the road can't legally turnaround to pick up passengers.
Then when you do pick up on it often people are going northside which involves a huge detour that pisses off the customer or you end up doing the illegal u-turn to get pointed in the right direction.Not very taxi friendly.
I've gotten caught out with the junkies coming out of Sheriff street a couple of times.Got paid eventually but it's not worth the hassle with the shit they have going on in their lives.Not my favorite rank.It only really moves when a few trains come in together.

Thanks Hal, but I don't have any online banking on my phone but only on my PC at home so I dont have anything to upload.

Yu can get a statement at ATM Ken I tink ?
2 options ...1 a receipt roll out the machine which obviously is useless ....but yu can order a full statement posted ....
Thanks Octy, I had a look at my bank account on my PC and there is an option to request a posted bank statement, which I have done so hopefully be good to go when I get that.
And thanks to all fer the help...

Yeah I noticed that about it being awkward for taxis picking up there alright. Forgot to ask the driver I got what was wrong with his car, id guess the shocks were gone, very uncomfortable trip, nice guy though.

Download.pdf on your pc, send it to yourself by email or webwhatsapp , open it on your phone, take screenshot , job done.

I got my printed statement off the bank this Sunday morning, had it all laid out on the table ready to take the required photo, opened the uber app and got the option to go online immediately ?? (as in without taking the bank statement photo).
I went online just to check and got a job offer a few minutes later, so they must have accepted the bank statement photo taken from my PC, it would have been nice if'n they had told me this last week.
And again Thanks to all fer the assistance.
-
I'd say they sussed that you'll more than likely plaster their stickers all over yer car and bam, you're live.

I'll keep me options open on that, my main objective is to do the 25 uber jobs required in the next 90 days to get my referrer his Trummer Bobo.

Fair enough Ken.

Seemingly what I got was temporary approval and I did have to upload a photo of my bank statement in order to recieve payments.
2 jobs done so far, 23 more to go by next Feb to get my referrer his Trummer Bobo !
Currently on just 3% commission, anyone know how long that lasts fer ?
-
We didn't get that discounted commission in Dubin.They've been up here a long time
Have any of his found it difficult to use the Uber app since the radar thing came in.I find the job offers block the screen for the other apps and makes it unworkable since the last update.
It's a shame as they're still the cheapest app out there.I emailed them some feedback and they say that's just the way it is from now on and they're keeping the update.
-
Uber wit all ther money you'd tink they'd have state of the art app ....but it's crap ....I still can't find radar adjustment...constantly gettin jobs 10 miles away ....
Just hav to turn it off ....
-
I prefered it the old way the app was setup.But they probably done the numbers and it suits some drivers better so I told them I wont be using it unless it's dead.Doubt they care too much as long as someone is covering tge work.
-
We get some good incentives up here.
Tonight's is 85 euro for 11 jobs after 10 pm.
-
Those special offers usually work out at 2.5 jobs/hr for the bonus period. So drivers are likely to pick and choose shorter runs to qualify. In effect, you (plural) are discriminating against legitimate customers who youse agreed to serve when youse got your Public Service Vehicle licence.
Ignore the customer long enough and they'll return the favour.

F**k 'em Watty, they've short memories.

I don't think there is a radar adjustment like FN and Bolt have ??
Also I don't see any destinations until trip is started with customer on board.
-
We have a job radar on the screen where all the details are posted,then you tap to accept.
-
Taxi drivers doing Uber work...tsk! There's a reason you're driving cabs FFS!

Seemingly still not good to go, my bank statement photo was approved, but then got an email saying the bank account must be the same name as the other documents. Bank account is Ken, everything else is Kenneth. Starting to get to the end of my tether with them.
-
Now at the end of my tether ! I changed my online bank name from Ken to Kenneth and then rang the bank to request a statement and was told that in order to change the actual bank name I must call to the bank in person and bring documentation with me, that won't be happening any time soon.
-
That's the money laundering rules. Reminds me of when they first came in. My bank wrote to me using my name and address asking if I wouldn't mind coming in and proving who I was and where I lived!
-
That trip radar is an absolute disaster, jobs a 15-20min drive away constantly filling my screen and me accidentally clicking on them and then canceling, my cancellation rate has gone from 3% to 18% since it came in. Left feedback that its shite and that i'll be concentrating on FN jobs going forward. I'm sure they dont give a fluck.

Easier to use your sum up account.. open app, go to home, tap “business account “ tap “account “ (bottom of screen), tap “download statement “… your done.

Two months down the line and still not signed up properly to uber, they send me regular automated emails telling me that my bank account details are incorrect but when I try to contact them they again send out more automated emails.
I eventually gave up on them but then I got a mobile number from a mate fer the Cork/Irl uber man and rang him today and seemingly he should get me sorted by tomorrow.
The original problem I believe was/is my Taxi licence/Insurance/Suitability/Etc states my birth name as Kenneth but my bank account name is Ken ??
-
Why would you upload a blank statement to uber ?
-
"Know you customer" Money Laundering Regulations. And so they know where to send your 'wages'.
