    WHILE travel is on hold, multi-currency wallet operator YouTrip is not standing still. The Singapore-based startup plans to expand its travel wallet into a broader digital payments app, while also entering the business-to-business (B2B) space.

    To fuel this new direction, it is set to double its Singapore headcount, hiring for over 50 new roles in engineering and product development over the next year, chief executive Caecilia Chu told The Business Times.
