For many Filipino entrepreneurs, growing a negosyo doesn’t always begin with a big investment. Sometimes, it starts with just enough capital to restock in-demand products, expand what they can offer, or keep up with their customers.

For Ma. Christine Vito, Mohammad Hadji Mahmod, and Von Bindolo, that starting point was a Maya Advance loan of ₱10,000, ₱1,000, and ₱20,000, respectively. Each put that additional capital toward practical business needs: from inventory and everyday operations to services their customers were already looking for.

Upgrading Your Maya Account Just Got Easier with ID-less Verification

Upgrading your Maya account usually means having an ID ready. Now, you may be able to do it without one.

Maya is making account upgrades simpler with ID-less verification, which lets eligible users verify their identity without taking a photo of or uploading a physical ID. All you need to start are details you already know, like your name and birthday.

Behind the scenes, Maya checks these details against your National ID records through National ID eVerify, the Philippine Statistics Authority’s identity-verification service. Think fewer things to prepare, less information to fill out, and a more seamless way to get your Maya account upgraded.

Julia Barretto and Maris Racal Are Back Fighting for What’s “MINE” with Maya

Julia Barretto and Maris Racal are back, and they’re taking getting more from your money to a whole new level.

In their last Maya video, the two showed what it feels like when your savings earns interest daily. Now, they’re turning their attention to everyday spending, with a new face-off over something they both want to claim.

This time, the two go head-to-head over 1% cashback when you pay with your Maya Card, making cashback something neither of them is willing to give up.
