What is Fave?

Fave is a mobile application that brings you discounted deals for food, activities and experiences. Each discounted deal on Fave, known as a ‘Fave deal’, lets you enjoy your favourite restaurant, café, spa, gym, activities, and more for up to 80 per cent discount. 

Remember Groupon? Yeah, Fave takes to the discounted deal concept from Groupon and then builds on it. Once the pioneer of discounted deals, Groupon is rightful the predecessor of Fave, after Fave acquired and rebranded the Singapore, Malaysia and Indonesia units of Groupon. 

Are there similar apps like Fave in Singapore?

With Fave, you pay upfront for food, activity or experience before going on to enjoy the deal. This is very similar to Qoo10’s food coupons that are sold on its online store at discounted prices. Once you’ve paid for the coupon, you can go on to redeem them from the merchant. 

What about FavePay?

Besides Fave deals, Fave also offers a payment application known as FavePay. FavePay lets you link your debit/credit card to your smartphone and pay at your favourite restaurants and cafés without having to swipe your card or count cash.

If you are familiar with the GrabPay payment function on Grab, FavePay functions almost exactly like GrabPay. 

With FavePay, you get to enjoy cashback, which is typically at around 2 per cent to 5 per cent, and can go as high as 30 per cent, depending on the merchant that you are paying at. The cashback that you earn is automatically applied on your next visit when you pay via FavePay.

Where can you use FavePay?

Fave has partnered with hundreds of merchants in Singapore. One of the easiest ways to spot a FavePay merchant is to find the FavePay QR code that will be on display at the cashier.

Alternatively, you can also find a FavePay merchant by tapping on the FavePay function on the app to find a list of FavePay partners near you.
