- The Premise: When you switch from Task A (Writing) to Task B (Email), a portion of your attention stays stuck on Task A.
- The Result: You aren’t doing Task B at 100% capacity. You are doing it at 40% capacity, with 60% of your brain still debugging the previous task.

Today, it handles billions of dollars in transactions annually, covering payments, transport (Grab integration), bill splitting, investments, and loans.
Version 1.3.2 arrived during OVO’s "growth spurt"—a time when the app was transitioning from a simple stored-value card replacement to a sophisticated fintech super-app.
