Frequently Asked Questions

Based on the registration process and transaction limit, there are currently four types of Wallet available. These are the Full mWallet , the Basic Wallet, the Payroll Wallet and the Sub-Wallet 
You can register for Basic Wallet just by dialing *140# or downloading the “Ooredoo Money” app . With Basic wallet, you can transfer up to QR 5,000 per transaction/month to your home country. 
To register for the Full mWallet, you need to visit an Ooredoo shop or Starlink outlet with your QID or passport with a valid visa. You can upgrade your Basic Wallet to Full mWallet. The Full mWallet allows you to send QR 10,000 per transaction. 

If you are currently an Ooredoo Hala or Shahry customer, you may register for Ooredoo Money on the same SIM.

Please note that the Shahry or Hala SIM that you wish to use must be registered under your Name/QID, as it appears on Ooredoo records.

If your SIM is not registered under your name and you still wish to use OM, visit any of our Ooredoo shops or Starlink outlets and we will transfer your SIM to your name within minutes.

Your Ooredoo Money mWallet is protected by a 4-digit mPIN that you set yourself and a one-time password (OTP). Since there is no way to access your Ooredoo Money mWallet without this mPIN and OTP, only you are able to access your mWallet. In addition, Ooredoo utilises advance security measures that meet Qatar Central Bank requirements, ensuring that your money and transactions are secure. Through our partnership with QNB, we ensure that the service is compliant with the highest security standards.

The main Wallet and its Sub-wallets share the same transaction limit, both daily and monthly. This means if the main Wallet is a Full Wallet, the daily deposit limit is QR10,000. If a Sub-wallet deposits QR2,000, the remaining available limit for the main Wallet will be QR8,000. This applies to all transaction limits.

Yes, the main Wallet holder can set limits for each Sub-wallet by logging in to the Ooredoo Money app, selecting ‘Sub-wallet’, then selecting ‘Sub-wallet set limit’. The main Wallet holder can then select the Sub-wallet number, enter the limit and then confirm.

The limit set by the main Wallet holder is the Sub-wallet capacity, meaning the Sub-wallet cannot hold a balance greater than that limit.

No, as both the main Wallet and the Sub-wallet share the same limits so if either consumes the full limit, both must wait until the next day for limits to reset.

The main Wallet holder can access the Ooredoo Money app and deactivate the Sub-wallet by logging into the Ooredoo Money app, selecting ‘Sub-wallet’, selecting ‘Sub-wallet set limit’, selecting Sub-wallet number and then removing the tick from the active box to confirm the Sub-wallet will be rendered inactive. Activation of a Sub-wallet can be done in the same way.
