utu is a travel technology company focused on increasing the value travelers receive from VAT/GST refunds by connecting refunds with the broader travel ecosystem. The platform allows shoppers to upsize refunds by converting them into airline miles or a loyalty benefit, with an additional top-up added to the original refund. Refunds can be sourced from operators in about 50 countries participating in tax-free shopping, including major markets such as France, Italy, Germany, Singapore, South Korea, and the UAE. Users access the service through a digital card linked to refunds, directing the tax-free sums to this card to realize cash or mileage enhancements, while utu works with airlines, retailers, and hotels as partners. Founded in 2016, the company is headquartered in Singapore in the Central Region and maintains offices in France, Italy, Thailand, Dubai, and India.
