Mini. Mini. Miney. More: Turn Any Maya Credit Card Purchase into Mini Payments

Some purchases are worth saying yes to: a long-awaited trip, a new laptop, a home upgrade, or even a month packed with celebrations. The good news? Paying for them doesn't always have to happen all at once.

Maya, the country's #1 Digital Bank and leading all-in-one fintech platform, is making it easier than ever to manage bigger purchases with the launch of Mini Payments. Available to Maya Black Credit Card and Landers Cashback Everywhere Credit Card holders, the feature allows eligible posted purchases to be converted into monthly mini payments directly within the Maya app.

Unlike traditional installment offers that are often tied to specific merchants or promo periods, Mini Payments puts the decision in your hands. Eligible purchases can be converted after they've already been made—no waiting for a sale, no hunting for partner merchants, and no need to plan purchases around promotional periods.
