Singapore’s multi-currency e-wallet YouTrip has rolled out Apple Pay integration, providing users a more seamless way to pay for in-store purchases, online transactions and public transport.
YouTrip said in a statement on Tuesday that this integration makes it even easier for YouTrip cardholders to pay for their travel expenses, including public transportation, when they are travelling abroad and in Singapore.
According to the statement, Apple Pay on YouTrip enables users to link their YouTrip cards to their iOS devices, making transactions faster, more secure, and completely hassle-free.
“YouTrip started off as a travel wallet five years ago, and has now become the go-to payment option not only for foreign currency transactions, but also for everyday transactions for different purposes,” said Caecilia Chu, Chief Executive Officer and Co-Founder of YouTrip.
The integration of Apple Pay comes shortly after the launch of YouTrip 2.0 in June, where the brand rolled out a modernized upgrade to their app interface and card design.
YouTrip is a Southeast Asian financial technology company dedicated to creating the next-generation of digital financial services for consumers and businesses.
In 2018, the firm launched the region’s first and leading multi-currency payment app.
With its consumer and corporate products, YouTrip and YouBiz, the company empowers users with the most affordable and convenient financial innovations.
