we are utu

utu is transforming global travel by empowering travellers with rewards and higher VAT refunds when shopping abroad, so they can get the best value out of their trips. Far more than just digitizing the process, utu re-engineers the broken tax refund industry, putting the customer first.

By bringing the worlds of refunds and rewards together, utu unlocks new value in the form of rewards from retailers, airlines, hotels and many more, allowing it to upsize refunds by up to 25%. No one else is able to provide travellers with more value.

Founded in 2016 and headquartered in Singapore, utu’s products can be used in over 50 countries.

Giving back what you deserve, and more.

Today, Tax Refund Operators charge travellers high foreign exchange fees. These fees can range from 5-8% of every tax-free transaction. At utu, we want to change this. utu Tax Free Card has been designed to prevent any exchange fee from being charged.

Instead, utu Tax Free Card returns this amount to you.

Because as a traveller, that’s what you deserve.
