YouTrip has unveiled its Malaysian Ringgit (MYR) wallet for users in Singapore, allowing them to exchange and store MYR at competitive rates without hidden fees. This launch aims to help travellers secure favourable exchange rates and manage currency volatility. The wallet’s introduction comes as YouTrip data shows users actively monitoring exchange rates up to two weeks before trips, particularly during peak travel periods like Hari Raya Puasa and Good Friday.
The MYR wallet launch is accompanied by a series of perks for frequent travellers to Malaysia. From 19 April to 11 May, YouTrip users can enjoy free shuttle bus rides from Kranji MRT Station to Mid Valley Southkey Mall in Johor Bahru every weekend. Additionally, the first 5,000 users who spend a minimum of S$200 will receive 3% cashback on all MYR transactions.
Kelvin Lam, Chief Operating Officer of YouTrip, stated, “We’re excited to offer our users greater control and flexibility with the ability to lock in MYR exchange rates through our in-app wallet. Launching this highly anticipated feature alongside complementary perks like the free bus rides and cashback was a deliberate decision to deliver even more value, convenience, and rewards to users.”
The company also revealed a creative augmented reality stunt featuring purple clouds over Johor Bahru, which gained viral attention online. This stunt was part of the promotional campaign for the new MYR wallet. With these initiatives, YouTrip continues to enhance the travel and spending experience for Singaporeans visiting Malaysia.
