Varsity Vibe is SA’s 1st Youth Discount Platform. With over 450 000 members - and counting - we give the youth access to exclusive deals and discount from brands all over SA, in-store and online. We have two membership options for our members, Freemium and Premium. To access our Freemium discounts, we take members through a simple student verification process and give them access to a number of our exclusive deals and discounts. Premium members have access to ALL of our exclusive deals and this membership can be unlocked with a membership fee or for FREE as a Standard Bank MyMo account holder.
Our aim is to add value and make meaningful contributions to the lives of SA youth. In 2020, we launched our student business initiative, an opportunity for student businesses to become an official Varsity Vibe partner and grow in the entrepreneurial space. Additionally, students are able to learn valuable sales skill through our Vibe Agent programme.
The Varsity Vibe App continues to grow by partnering with incredible, household names like Burger King, Cotton On Group, Superbalist, and so many more! We’ve also partnered with Standard Bank to offer FREE access to our deals and discounts to youth.
Our team of young, creative and innovative team members are constantly exploring ways to expand our partnerships in a manner that appeals to the youth market. If you are looking to do the same, we’d love you hear from you.
