Your security is our highest<\/strong> priority \u2014 which is why we\u2019ve established a dedicated Fraud Reporting Email. We understand that quick responses are absolutely crucial if you suspect suspicious activity on your YouTrip account. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u2757If you suspect that you\u2019ve been a victim of fraud or scam, you can email our dedicated fraud reporting email with details at fraud-reporting@you.co<\/strong><\/a>. Our 24\/7 Customer Service team will be able to assist you from here.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

<\/div>\n\n\n\n
\"YouTrip<\/figure>\n\n\n\n
<\/div>\n\n\n\n

Designed to protect user accounts that have been in an alleged scam or fraud, the Kill Switch is a strong defence mechanism that allows you to immediately suspend your YouTrip account. If you suspect that your phone or YouTrip account has been compromised, you can activate the Kill Switch by calling our Customer Service team at +65 6904 9334<\/strong>. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Once the Kill Switch is activated: <\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u2714\ufe0f Your account will be suspended. All parties, including you,<\/strong> will be completely cut off from all<\/strong> YouTrip app access<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u2714\ufe0f Both your physical and virtual cards will be suspended<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u2714\ufe0f New online and offline transactions, including Apple Pay or Google Pay transactions, will not be allowed<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u2714\ufe0f All other transactions such as top-ups and receiving money via YouTrip Send will also be declined<\/p>\n\n\n\n

<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Additional information on the Kill Switch:<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u2757 The Kill Switch prevents new unauthorised transactions but will not be able to<\/strong> reverse any transactions which have already been authorised<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u2757 The Kill Switch is reversible. If you wish to deactivate the Kill Switch after resolving any account compromise, you can call the same hotline  at +65 6904 9334<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u26a0\ufe0fYou\u2019ll be unable to update personal information<\/strong> such as mobile number and email address <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Whenever your YouTrip account is logged in on a new device, you will be notified via email. This 12-hour cooling period will give you time to safeguard your account in the event that you do not recognise the new login. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

As an added layer of protection, we\u2019ve also implemented a S$1,000 transaction limit<\/strong> for Peer-to-Peer (P2P) transfers. This means the maximum amount you can transfer <\/strong>via each YouTrip Send transaction <\/strong>is S$1,000. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

By setting this cap, we\u2019re minimising the risk of potential losses if there are suspected fraudulent YouTrip Send transfers.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
