Partnering With Fave Enables A Smarter Payment Experience For The Customers

This partnership is in line with Al-Ikhsan commitment to making sports available for all by enabling a smarter payment experience for consumers to pay and save. Partnership with Fave empowers businesses with innovative payment and loyalty solutions to grow and connect with their customers in a whole new way.

COVID-19 has changed consumer behavior and reshaped the retail sector in Malaysia. It also taught consumers to become more cautious with their spending habits. Many have turned into Buy Now Pay Later (BNPL) to break up their bills and to maintain flexible financial planning. With this, Malaysia expects a potential growth in the BNPL adoption, recording a CAGR of 49% during 2022-2028.

The Chief Executive Officer of Al-Ikhsan Sports, Vach Pillutla said:

Collaborating with Fave enhances our strategy to make sports affordable to consumers from different income groups. Committed to making sports available for all, we paired up with the fast-emerging BNPL payment solution to reduce our customers’ financial stress when it comes to owning sports gear. That being said, we would like to encourage a fit and active lifestyle whilst keeping our customers financially fit.
