One App, One Card; Multiple Currencies
Each YouTrip account is linked to a contactless Mastercard®, free upon sign-up with no registration or annual fees. Use it to pay in-store or online at 30 million merchants worldwide — all with zero hidden FX fees and competitive exchange rates.
No More Overseas Bank Fees
Traditional bank-issued credit cards often charge 2.8%–3.5% FX fees, plus additional markups via Dynamic Currency Conversion (DCC). This can add 3–5% in hidden fees when paying abroad.
With YouTrip:

- 0% markups on wholesale exchange rates for 150+ currencies.
Example: On a 500 Euro purchase, YouTrip charges only the mid-market rate in SGD, saving you significantly compared to most credit cards.
