Future of Ola Money Wallet and Ola Money SBI Credit Card from April 1, 2024
I received the following email from Ola Financial Services (OFS) a few days ago regarding Ola Money wallet :
IMPORTANT UPDATE REGARDING YOUR OLAMONEY WALLET
Dear Customer,
We hope this message finds you well. We're writing to inform you about an important update in our policy regarding your Full KYC OlaMoney wallet.

Although I don't use Ola Money wallet since the 7% cashback trick stopped for Ola Money SBI CC but I do have the CC active since it was offered to me LTF. I would actually like to get the wallet closed altogether but I'm keeping the Ola Money SBI CC since it's useful in instant discount during SALEs.
I don't see any changes from Ola Money SBI CC's side if one closes the Ola Money wallet.
I guess there would be some people in the same boat as I am. What's your take on this?
I was actually thinking to get SimplyCLICK CC LTF in exchange of Ola Money SBI CC LTF I have. Will SBI Card do this?
I currently have Cashback CC and Ola Money CC (LTF). I really don't find any use of Ola Money CC except for the fact that it's LTF now and comes in handy during SALEs. Any suggestion related to my SBI CC portfolio is appreciated.

@coolkish7 ... below 2 options have been provided :
1. Convert your Ola Money wallet from Full KYC to Small PPI, or
2. Close of your Wallet: Withdraw the complete amount if any and close the wallet. Bank transfer charge is NIL
Where all ola wallet is accepted? I don't see many options
Snapay.
Maybe yes maybe no = Maybelline 🙂
I didn't receive any mail and I have about 100 INR in my Ola money wallet. How to use it completely, so that I can close it. It doesn't have CC pay option. No other bills are pending for this month.
@baludesi @satraghav @sahil1033 Check my last comment
Are we able to withdraw funds from ola ppi to bank without charges? Have excess of 10k funds and trying to figure out if I should close and get fund in account vs. converting to ppi account..
Was able to withdraw only 9999 last month. This month converted to small ppi wallet. Withdraw option not allowed now
UPDATE :
Upon contacting SBI customer care, they told me that Ola Money SBI CC can't be upgraded to any other SBI CC, so, only way is to apply for a fresh CC and get this one closed.
Meanwhile, I got caught up in other things that I neither took a decision on whether to close Ola Money wallet or get it converted to small PPI. I'm planning to get SBI SimplyCLICK and later on close Ola Money SBI CC but this will take some time, not immediately. SimplyCLICK is no bullshit and simplest core SBI CC which doesn't disappoint, right?

How will be the spends on ola sbi will be rewarded if their wallet is closing?
