By creating a catchy music anthem, gamified promotions, and collaborations with celebrities like Liza Soberano and Shanti Dope, Maya has become more than a bank; it’s a lifestyle icon. These efforts have catapulted Maya to the top-rated local consumer finance app in major app stores.  

 

“Our vision is to transform the Filipino outlook on money. We see it as more than a mere necessity; it’s a path to financial freedom. Through our innovative campaigns and services, we are at the forefront of this significant shift in perspective.”  said Maya Chief Marketing Officer Pepe Torres.
