Every fare is paid in the app. The fare is taken from your default payment method when the ride ends, after any GuyWay Credit. GuyWay is cashless: cash is never accepted, for a fare or a tip.
Where you find it
Open the Account tab and tap Wallet. A red dot on the tile means a saved method needs attention.

Charge currency
With a card, Apple Pay or Google Pay on file, Charge currency lets you choose Guyana dollars (GYD) or US dollars (USD). Fares are always priced in GYD. In USD, the fare is converted at the day's rate. In GYD, your bank may add a foreign-transaction fee. The choice starts on USD for a number outside Guyana.
MMG is always charged in GYD and PayPal always in USD.
