The Backup Balance feature is a helpful resource for drivers with Uber to access funds to cover monthly expenses! Qualified drivers have the flexibility to utilize these funds as needed.

Uber determines eligibility for Backup Balance based on specific criteria. Here’s what they look for to confirm to confirm eligibility:
Must Have:
- Automatic payouts must be enabled.
- Active driver for 200 days or more.
- Show consistent driving and earnings record.
Other Attributes Considered:
- Trip Activity: The number and frequency of trips taken since account opening.

If all qualifications are met, a notification will display in your Uber Pro Card app stating that the Backup Balance is available to cover the amount of the declined transaction.
