As regulated by the Monetary Authority of Singapore, the maximum limit your YouTrip wallet can hold at any point in time is S$20,000 – regardless of the currencies, this value is held in.
There are, however, situations that can cause your wallet to exceed this limit. For example, if you receive refunds due to a change in travel plans, or a certain currency in your wallet appreciates in value.
When this happens, we’ll automatically refund any excess cash above the S$20,000 limit to the most recent card you used for top-ups. No action is required from you, and you’ll see the refund reflected in your card or bank statement within 5 to 10 working days.
You may notice that we refund a slightly higher amount to you, rounded up to the nearest 10 dollars. This is to ensure that in the event of currency fluctuation, your foreign currency balance does not cause your total YouTrip balance to exceed the limit unintentionally.
Note: For refunds sent to canceled or expired cards, in most cases, the bank will redirect the refund to your new or replacement card. However, if you do not have a new card, the bank will usually send the refund directly to your bank account/cheque, you may contact your issuing bank to discuss on your refund options.
