Make it make sense, why is money in the account separate from the money in the card. I got stranded yesterday trying to move money from my account to the card and I failed for 5hours, stranded in a remote place with no ATMs or Super markets. I just need money in my card so that I can Uber and the SOLmate stupid system blocked me from that. ADVICE, don't ever use Solmate,,,, EVER! I saw a lot of people complaining about the same thing and I thought it would never be me but then, I was WRONG!

We understand how frustrating this must have been, especially being stranded without access to your funds. The SOLmate wallet and card balances are separate, and funds need to be loaded onto the card for card payments. Our support team is available via the App or WhatsApp at +27 60 575 7490 to assist with your issue.
