10%
Founding partners offer. For the first companies in Valais: 10% commission instead of 20% for 3 months, starting the day your payments are active. Limited places.
The partnership is with the company
ValTransfer does not recruit individual drivers. The partnership links ValTransfer to a transport company: a sole proprietorship or corporation entered in the commercial register and holding a UID number. The company engages its drivers, registers its vehicles and answers for their compliance.
What the company provides
| Item | Why |
|---|---|
| UID number and commercial register entry | To confirm the company exists and operates lawfully |
| Stripe account in the company's name | Payment is collected directly into it — without it, no ride can be assigned |
| Contact details and canton of operation | Ride assignment and follow-up |
What is checked for each driver
These determine whether a driver is eligible for ValTransfer rides. They are declared and evidenced by the company.
- Identity and date of birth
- Category B driving licence, and how long it has been held
- Professional passenger transport licence (category B121) and its validity
- Cantonal passenger transport authorisation, its canton and expiry date
- Criminal record extract, and the date it was checked
- Debt collection register extract, and the date it was checked
- Professional liability insurance
- Vehicle: make, model, year, plate, and tachograph where applicable
Drivers remain engaged by their company. ValTransfer sets neither their hours, nor their leave, nor their pay, and does not employ them. Social security obligations lie with the company.
How the driver is paid
The passenger pays the company. ValTransfer takes a 20% commission on the ride amount, directly within the transaction. The remainder goes to the company, which pays its driver under its own arrangement. As with a card terminal, Stripe's payment fees are deducted by Stripe from the company's account.
A commission reduction programme for the best-rated drivers is planned. It is not in place yet.
Partners, not competitors: pass on the rides you can't take
8%
One ride too many? Pass it on instead of turning it down. All your drivers are busy and a customer calls: from your dashboard, send them your ValTransfer link by WhatsApp or text message, with the trip already filled in. Once the ride is paid, you earn 8% of the fare, paid monthly by bank transfer. A customer you would have lost now earns you money.
The customer keeps the fixed fare and the driver who takes the ride gets their usual share: the 8% comes out of ValTransfer's commission. If one of your own drivers takes the ride, it is already yours on the usual terms, with no extra commission.
Becoming a driver
You sign up from your phone in a few minutes: choose the transport company you work with, photograph your five documents — licence with the B121 mention, cantonal authorisation, criminal record extract, debt collection extract, professional liability insurance — and send. The company checks your file; once it approves, you receive your access to the app by email. (The form is in French.)
