On the occasion of its 7th anniversary, YouTrip, the multi-currency digital wallet provider and number one travel card trusted by Thai travelers, together with Kasikornbank, brings happiness back to users to thank them for traveling together over 7 years through the 'YouTrip 7 Years All Value' campaign, offering both a chance to win full cashback up to 7,777 baht and dining and travel deals starting at 7 baht from leading travel and food delivery platforms this November.

Since YouTrip launched in Thailand in November 2019, travel over the past 7 years has seen changes in traveler spending behavior, from preparing cash in advance to using digital financial services that make payments more convenient. The COVID-19 pandemic was a turning point that made people more familiar with digital transactions, though cash still plays a role in some spending patterns. Seven years of trust leading to the travel card Thais choose. Throughout this journey, we are committed to offering travelers the best exchange rates with convenience and safety in cashless spending when traveling worldwide. YouTrip has received the Thailand's Most Admired Brand award in the Travel Card category from BrandAge magazine for two consecutive years, reflecting acceptance from Thai travelers as the number one travel card and another milestone on our 7th anniversary.

Ms. Juthasri Kuwinichkul, co-founder of YouTrip Thailand, said: "Over the past 7 years, YouTrip has focused on developing the money exchange and overseas spending experience, whether it's contactless payments, automatic transactions via the SmartExchange system, online transaction verification with 3DS 2.0 within the app instead of OTP, linking with Google Wallet for spending, and great deals from partners worldwide. We offer competitive exchange rates with no 2.5% fee, making it more valuable than credit cards. We believe brand growth depends not only on service duration but on learning and adapting to users' changing needs to keep YouTrip the solution for spending on every journey. Throughout this journey, user trust has been a key factor driving us to develop and grow."
