OYO announced its partnership with Ola Money, the digital payment solution from Ola, India’s most popular mobile app for transportation. The partnership will allow OYO customers to make one-touch payments for their hotel rooms through Ola Money wallet for both web and app bookings.
Ola Money can be used for bookings via OYO app and web platforms, as a seamless payments experience. The integration further lets customers pre-book an Ola cab while booking a hotel across OYO’s network of 70,000 rooms in 7,000 hotels. Both OYO and Ola enjoy a wide network reach with presence in over 200 and 100 cities, respectively. The partnership will ensure hassle-free stays with seamless intra-city transport in addition to offering a convenient and secure way of payment.
The growth of sharing economy in India has led to the unprecedented demand for models such as Ola and OYO who have used innovations to enable scale and disrupt the on-demand ecosystem. With both the companies already catering to the large base of customers within the travel industry, further collaboration and deeper integration through technology is a step towards creating a seamless, transparent and convenient accommodation and mobility platform for millions of users.
