The Ola Money app can be used for mobile phone recharge across all operators as well as to send money to friends and family. 

 

In August, the company had announced that its customers could use Ola Money for payments at a wide range of merchants including OYO Rooms, Saavn, Lenskart, Zo Rooms, TinyOwl etc.

 

"Ola Money is the most preferred mode of payment on the Ola app. With Ola Money, users can pay any of the partner merchants without having to provide any additional authentication, other than their Ola credentials already present on the app. The addition of mobile recharges and money transfers through the app brings two major use cases for consumers using Ola Money," a company statement said. 

 

The app will soon be usable for utility bill payments, across online and offline merchants and leading payment gateways as well, making Ola Money a holistic solution in the payment ecosystem.

 

Bhavish Aggarwal, Co-founder & CEO, Ola said, "The launch of the Ola Money app is a big step towards simplifying payments for users across a wide range of products and services they use everyday! Ola Money has seen tremendous acceptance over the last three months, since the time we opened it up for third party merchants. We continue to add more merchants and build many more use cases with Ola Money, making it a seamless experience for users. With the app enabling users to do a lot more including mobile recharges and money transfers, we are excited about the possibilities that Ola Money brings for the millions, who are beginning to prefer an easy to use mobile payment solution!"
