Why is my Uber driver balance negative?

When you see a negative balance in your Uber account, it means you have service fees owing from cash you've collected from trips paid in cash by riders. It's easy to settle your negative balance quickly and you can do this in the Uber Driver app by using M-pesa, Airtel Money, and credit or debit cards.
