YouTrip is now upgraded to YouTrip 2.0. It has a new look and a new virtual card in the app. For those who do not know what is YouTrip, you are missing out, especially when you are overseas.
One of the pain-point when you are overseas is the lousy exchange rate on your credit cards. And some cards might even impose a foreign transaction fee.
With YouTrip, you don’t have to worry anymore. It uses one of the best exchange rates and without any handling fees. I have been using it for many trips and I really cannot live without it when I am overseas.
Before the upgrade, you will need to have the physical card to know the card number and etc. Now, with YouTrip 2.0, it creates a virtual card within the app. This is super convenient.

Singapore, 12 June 2023 – YouTrip, Singapore’s favourite multi-currency e-wallet, today unveiled a refreshed look to its signature physical card and app interface with YouTrip 2.0, providing users a more seamless digital banking experience that is safe, smart and convenient.
Designed with the users of tomorrow in mind, the improved app now features an even more intuitive interface where users can easily manage their expenses, enjoy favourable exchange rates for over 150+ currencies and all YouTrip perks within one integrated platform. Users are also greeted with a new card design – a modernised upgrade from the initial launched five years ago. The new card accents a transparent window that symbolises the limitless possibilities YouTrip users can experience with their trusted travel payment companion.
Caecilia Chu, CEO and Co-Founder of YouTrip, said, “With the increasing adoption and reliance on digital wallet, users’ needs and expectations have also evolved over the years. YouTrip 2.0 is part of the company’s agile and iterative approach to product development and improvement based on user feedback, and market trends and preferences as we embark on our fifth year with the Singapore market. Equipped with enhanced security features, the improved app and modernised physical card is part of YouTrip’s ongoing efforts to build a secure, borderless multi-currency e-wallet that promises the best rates, all day”.
Convenience and Security At Your Fingertips
Under YouTrip 2.0, users will now receive a complimentary virtual card immediately upon application’s approval. This allows new users to enjoy the best rates for all online payments without having to wait for the arrival of their physical card.
Created with a different 16-digit PAN number from the physical card, the virtual card can be locked, terminated and replaced instantly, without the logistical hassle of a physical card. Therefore users can choose to separate digital purchases from the physical card and perform secure digital payments in an even more seamless manner. Apple Pay will also be rolled out in Q3 2023, further enabling users to enjoy the perks and convenience of the virtual card.
A separate dual-lock kill switch feature is also integrated into the platform to complement the physical-virtual cards system. Users can lock and terminate either of the cards without restricting the other, allowing travellers to still have the means to pay with minimal inconvenience caused in the event of an unfortunate event.
Users will also receive instant payment notifications, allowing them to manage their expenses 24/7, flag potential fraudulent activities within the platform and lock the card(s) to prevent further misuse in the event of a potential compromise.
New Look, But Same Best Rates All Day
Users continue to enjoy the best exchange rates for over 150 currencies, with 0% FX fees and no hidden costs. To get the most out of their buck, users can exchange and lock down the rates for 10 selected currencies[1] in the app, allowing them to enjoy the best rates all day.
A slew of new features will also be rolled out over the next couple of months, starting with the waiver of ATM withdrawal fee this Thursday, on 15 June 2023. Offering the best-in-market option for the waiver, YouTrip users will enjoy zero fees[2] for their first S$400 ATM withdrawal in the calendar month.
