Spending Shift

YouTrip intended to tap on booming travel among people in Southeast Asia when it was launched in 2019. And despite the travel standstill, the company has seen «significant growth» in online overseas spending

«With this shift in spending, our advancement in innovation to offer a wider suite of multi-currency is timely, and drives our goal of elevating the cross-border payment experience for our users in Singapore and the region,» Caecilia Chu, YouTrip co-founder and CEO, said.
