Important update on your OlaMoney Postpaid account

Due to a change in our internal policy, we are rolling back some of the services we offered on your OlaMoney Postpaid account. Moving forward, you can now only use it to pay for all your Ola rides. Unfortunately, you can no longer use this for other services such as RedBus, 1mg, and more. 

However, you can upgrade to OlaMoney Postpaid+ and enjoy all the features you loved about OlaMoney along with a host of new privileges. 

  • A 30-day credit cycle
  • A Postpaid line up to Rs. 25,000.
  • You can buy services and products and then pay for them later on over 300 apps.

And that’s just the tip of the iceberg. You will also be getting an OlaMoney card powered by Mastercard completely free. This card can be used offline at over 60 lakh merchants across the world.

Safety Comes First At Ola Foods

At Ola Foods, we want to assure you that we are committed towards bringing you food that not only tastes great but is also completely safe.

Introducing 8Edge Safety, a comprehensive set of kitchen safety measures at Ola Foods.

5. Safe Cooking Practices
Food is always cooked thoroughly at temperatures above 95°C. It is also packed and sealed while hot.

We safely pack your food in tamper-proof containers, with each package carrying a tamper-safe seal as well.
