ABHI Microfinance Bank is offering customers up to 30 percent off at selected restaurants and padel arenas every Sunday under a promotion called Faiday Pe Faida, available exclusively to holders of the ABHI PayPak Card. The offer gives cardholders a recurring weekend incentive to use their card at participating venues, covering both dining options and sports facilities rather than being limited to a single category of merchant.
To access the discount, customers need to pay using their ABHI PayPak Card specifically at one of the selected restaurants or padel arenas taking part in the promotion, tying the offer directly to PayPak as the underlying payment network. Promotions structured this way, where a specific card network is required to unlock a discount, are commonly used by banks and payment schemes together to encourage cardholders to route more of their spending through that particular network rather than cash or a competing card scheme.
The inclusion of padel arenas alongside restaurants reflects the sport’s growing popularity in Pakistan’s urban centers over the past couple of years, with padel courts increasingly appearing alongside more established leisure and dining options in cities. Pairing a payment discount with a newer, trend-driven activity like padel gives ABHI a way to appeal to a younger, more active customer segment that may not respond as strongly to more conventional retail or dining discounts alone.
The offer is valid every Sunday, giving it a standing weekly cadence rather than running as a limited-time campaign, though ABHI noted that other terms and conditions apply to the promotion. No specific list of participating restaurants or padel arenas was disclosed, nor was any indication given of whether the offer has a minimum spend requirement or a cap on the total discount per transaction.
