One of the Worst!!!
I applied for this card for its cash reward program and got $2500 limit off the bat. Great! And I used It for a year. It does the job, pays the reward, nothing fancy there. It's just another credit card. The problem i have with it while i was using it was its slow posting of the transactions and statements. While all my other major credit cards update info on their online portal almost in real time, Ollo card really likes to take its time. Days sometimes weeks. It makes things hard to manage.
Then I got a new Discover card that offers free balance transfer, so i decided to switch over. On the Discover end, the transaction was verified and posted online the very next day. But on the Ollo end, it was still holding on my transferred $2300 balance and wouldn't let go for 2 weeks. My credit score dropped 34 points instantly because I literally just doubled my $2300 debt for no reason. Until i called in Ollo customer service and faxed in all the paperwork to open an investigation. Then the transaction was posted after 2 more weeks. This balance transfer process took 1 month to complete on Ollo's end, but cross 2 billing cycles. So my credit score kept dropping another 30+ points in the second month. After Ollo cleared my transfer, it took them another month to have it reflect on my credit score. Just because I made a balance transfer, my credit score was hugely damaged for at least 3 months. 3 months later today, my credit score is still trying to slowly climb back to where it was before I made the balance transfer, but still 10+ point shy.
Based on my personal experience with Ollo, It's an ok card to use if you are really in need. But if you really care about real time management and credit score, STAY AWAY from it.

Great card
After 1 year they raised my credit limit, they start you out with a decent amount of credit. Only thing i dont like is Ollo only lets you pay with a savings or checking account they need more payment options.
Functional, can't sync with YNAB
You can pay for things with it. Decent credit limit. So-so rate. Only recently got a mobile app. Worst thing for me is this card cannot sync to YNAB, as a result it doesn't get much use.
STAY AWAY
STAY AWAY!!! WARNING!!! Ollo’s credit card has two timeline dates: 1 is due date and the 2nd one end of billing cycle (witch is about 5-7 days after payment due date). My payment due date is on 18th of each month, however the billing cycle ends around 23-25th of each month. So if you paid everything (balance) by payment or on due date, and made some purchases after payment due date and before end of cycle, they will report account balance as of end of cycle. So you need to make sure that your balance is zero when the cycle ends (it means you cannot make any purchases after due date and before cycle ends almost a week later) otherwise it will show that you have balance on the card even if you are paid your balance in full by or on due date. It screwed up my credit score pretty bad because of credit utilization. On my other credit cards next day after due date is a new cycle and all purchases made after due date will be on next billing cycle. BUT NOT WITH THIS GUYS! Looks like they also will charge you interest on those purchases made after due date because it will show as you have a balance. NOT GOOD. Plus they don’t show nowhere when your actual cycle ends, the only way to find out is to call them. They only show your due date. Why are they hiding the date of end of cycle? Sounds like to make extra on intrest and report balance to credit bureaus. YOU HAVE BEEN WARNED!!! Or you have to remember your payment due date and call them to find out end of the cycle day.. I’m very disappointed 😔
I applied for the card 3 days out of chapter 7 discharge and was approved with CL of $800 and a CS of 60. So far I love it, the website is very user friendly and they just came out with a mobile app. I plan to use this strictly for credit building. I just recently found out that this an invite only card so I’m even more elated to have it.
No interest introductory period.
Easy application with an instant decision and credit limit. No interest introductory period.
My experience was simple and fast. Yes, good card to establish credit.
Good card to establish credit.
It lacks perks such as rewards, as that is the only downfall of this card. I got an increase credit line after 3mths
Easy approval
after a couple months they raised the limit.
so far so good!

Great Card
I was originally approved for $800, paid my bill on time and more than minimum payment. They just upped my credit limit by $1200 making my credit limit $2000. I have not had any problems. Pay your bill on time and all is 👍. I would recommend this card!
