The Ooredoo Money service has a brand-new feature that allows users to register family members and domestic staff by sharing their wallet’s limit so they can have their own sub-wallet and get the same quick, easy, and efficient access to Ooredoo Money services.
The new feature means family members over the age of eight for Qatari nationals, and over the age of 18 for residents of other nationalities, and any domestic staff with their Ooredoo mobile number registered under the main wallet holder’s QID can have their own sub-wallet, which they can operate independently.
This will enable them to access the raft of services offered by Ooredoo Money from the safety of their home.
Family or staff members can request a sub-wallet by using the ‘Register’ option on the Ooredoo Money app, and the main wallet-holder will then be prompted to approve the request.
A sub-wallet can be assigned by the main wallet holder by using the ‘sub-wallet’ option on the app, entering the holder’s QID and uploading images of the sub-wallet holder’s QID.
Main wallet holders will be able to set transaction limits for all their sub-wallets with sub-wallets – the same type as the main wallet, either basic or full — being assigned a share of the main wallet limit.
The main wallet holder can edit limits at any time via the Ooredoo app.
Once set up, sub-wallet holders can use their sub-wallet as an independent wallet and enjoy Ooredoo Money services including sending remittances, recharging mobile numbers, recharging international numbers, paying bills, booking movie tickets, and much more.
Sabah Rabiah al-Kuwari, director, PR at Ooredoo, said: “We recognise that many of our customers don’t necessarily have their mobile number registered under their QID, including family members and domestic staff. 
“Now, with our new sub-wallet feature, these customers will be able to access all the Ooredoo Money services the main wallet holder can access, meaning they can take care of a number of everyday tasks quickly, easily and digitally via the Ooredoo Money app.”
He added: “This is a timely development, given we are all following the stay-home directive for the safety of our community, and we’re pleased to be able to help our customers manage these challenging times.”
