YouTrip is celebrating its eighth anniversary with a new campaign combining travel rewards, an original anime-inspired music video and an experiential pop-up at Funan.
The multi-currency digital wallet is offering new and existing users 3% cashback and a chance to win one of eight pairs of return flights to Japan as part of its birthday campaign, which runs from 19 August to 15 September 2026.
To qualify, users need to opt into the campaign through the YouTrip app and spend a minimum of S$400 during the campaign period. Eligible users will receive 3% cashback and one entry into the lucky draw for a pair of return flights to Japan. Terms and conditions apply.
The campaign also introduces Trippie the Fee Slayer, a new animated character created to represent YouTrip’s focus on helping travellers avoid hefty foreign exchange fees. The character stars in the company’s first original anime-inspired music video, a 90-second production featuring an original soundtrack and a storyline centred on Trippie battling the Fee King and his Fee Monsters:
The campaign is also coming to life offline at Funan, where YouTrip is holding a four-day pop-up from 27 to 30 August 2026.
We attended the media preview at the Funan pop-up on 26 August and got an early look at the activities available to YouTrip users.
One of the highlights is the customisation station, where visitors can create our own YouTrip merchandise. By showing the YouTrip app, users can customise free T-shirts and tote bags with cute Trippie-themed designs and iron-on patches.
There is also a live matcha station serving complimentary matcha drinks, along with photo spots designed for visitors to take pictures and share their experience on social media.
For those looking for a little competition, the pop-up also features an arcade-style reaction challenge. Visitors can test their reflexes at the interactive game station, with S$50 cash prizes up for grabs.
The anniversary campaign reflects YouTrip’s positioning around making overseas spending simpler and helping travellers stretch their travel budgets. The company was launched in 2018 and describes itself as the region’s first multi-currency digital wallet.
With its latest birthday campaign, YouTrip is taking a more entertainment-focused approach, combining its travel and payment proposition with anime, merchandise, interactive games and rewards.
The Funan pop-up runs from 27 to 30 August 2026, giving YouTrip users a chance to experience the Trippie-themed activities and pick up customised merchandise while the campaign’s 3% cashback and Japan flight promotion continues.
