    IT MAY seem unconventional for an early-stage startup to receive strong backing from family offices. But YouTrip, a Singapore-based mobile wallet operator, sees this "patient capital" as a strength as it embarks on South-east Asian expansion.

    On Thursday, the fintech startup announced US$25.5 million in pre-Series A funding round from "major Asian family offices" alongside venture firm Insignia Ventures Partners.
