MANILA, PHILIPPINES – Maya, the Philippines’ leading fintech ecosystem, has once again gained international recognition, clinching the titles of Best Consumer Digital Bank and Best Mobile Banking App in the Philippines at the World’s Best Digital Bank Awards for the third consecutive year.
The recognition highlights Maya’s integrated fintech model, powered by Maya Bank’s digital infrastructure and Maya Philippines’ award-winning finance app, which continues to reshape the way millions of Filipinos spend, save, borrow, and pay.
Organized by Global Finance Magazine, the awards honor financial institutions that are driving digital banking innovation worldwide. Maya stood out for pioneering an ecosystem that unites payments, deposits, and credit services for both consumers and enterprises—anchored on AI-driven transaction insights and embedded credit solutions that deliver practical financial value.
“Banking today is about being relevant in people’s daily lives. At Maya, we do that by integrating payments, savings, and credit in one seamless app. This win reinforces our strategy of building a digital ecosystem where people don’t just access finance—they use it with ease and confidence,” said Shailesh Baidwan, Maya Group President and Maya Bank Co-Founder.
“Our focus is to turn accounts into tools people trust and actively use. By embedding savings nudges, instant credit and secure features, we help customers move beyond access to meaningful financial progress,” said Angelo Madrid, Maya Bank President.
Maya continues to redefine digital banking in the Philippines through innovations such as easy account onboarding with just one ID, personalized savings nudges via Action Cards, secure numberless credit cards with rotating CVVs, and the Maya Security Center, which empowers users to freeze or toggle transactions instantly.
This double win adds to Maya’s growing roster of accolades. Earlier this year, Maya was named one of Forbes’ World’s Best Banks and secured Best Virtual Bank at the Retail Banking Awards by Asian Banking & Finance—a distinction it has earned for three consecutive years.
These milestones further cement Maya’s position as the Philippines’ #1 digital bank and fintech ecosystem, setting new benchmarks for financial innovation and inclusion in the country.
