Get the Best of Both with Maya Credit Cards: Cashback and Miles, One Shared Limit

Eligible Maya cardholders can now enjoy both the Landers Cashback Everywhere Credit Card and the Maya Black Credit Card under one total credit limit. With a shared limit across both cards, cardholders can choose which one to use depending on the rewards they want to earn—whether that’s cashback they can use toward free groceries at Landers, or Maya Miles they can redeem for travel and lifestyle rewards.

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

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.

Your Moneymaxxing Guide to Help You Weather the Rainy Season

The rainy season can bring unexpected changes—not just to our routines, but also to our finances. From transportation and household needs to urgent repairs and other unforeseen expenses, costs can quickly add up when severe weather hits.

While not every situation can be anticipated, being financially prepared can help make unexpected expenses more manageable. Here are a few ways to build more flexibility into your finances for the rainy season and beyond.

The Top Things Filipinos Are Saving For—and Why They Matter

When people talk about saving money, they usually talk about numbers: how much they've managed to set aside, how much interest they're earning, how much more they need before they reach their goal. But behind every savings account is usually something much bigger: a long-awaited trip, a child's education, a first home, an emergency fund, or simply the peace of mind that comes from knowing you're financially prepared.

A look at anonymized and aggregated savings data from Maya, the country's leading financial services platform, shows that while financial priorities differ across stages of life, many of the reasons people save are surprisingly universal.  Across generations, they aren't simply putting money away—they're building toward the lives they want.

Your Mid-Year Money Reset: Five Ways to Make the Rest of 2026 Count

There's something about the middle of the year that makes people reassess everything: the routines they've kept, the goals they've quietly abandoned, and the habits they want to change. Money shouldn't be any different.

Moneymaxxing Your Credit Card Without Maxing It Out

In an economy where everything seems more expensive than it used to be, people aren't avoiding credit anymore. They're finding ways on how to make it work harder for them.

This shift fueled the rise of Moneymaxxing, a growing mindset focused on getting more value from the money you're already spending—whether that's through rewards, cashback, flexibility, or simply using the right financial tools for the right purchases.

Credit cards, when used strategically, can play an important role in that equation.

Dad-Approved Guide to Moneymaxxing

Long before "moneymaxxing" became a trend, dads were already experts at it. They're the ones who compare prices before buying, keep money set aside "just in case," and find ways to make every peso go further. What once felt like classic dad behavior turns out to be surprisingly relevant today.

Here are a few dad-approved ways to moneymaxx with Maya, the country's #1 Digital Bank and leading all-in-one fintech platform.

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

Millennial vs. Gen Z Moneymaxxing: How Money Habits Are Changing

Lately, Millennial vs. Gen Z content has been everywhere online, from work habits and texting styles to fashion, dating, and even grocery shopping. But one of the most interesting differences showing up lately might actually be around money.

Because even when both generations are dealing with the same everyday expenses, they often approach them very differently.

For a lot of Millennials, money habits were shaped around stability and caution. Budgeting, avoiding unnecessary spending, paying bills on time, and planning ahead were often seen as the gold standard of being “good” with money. That mindset made sense during years shaped by economic uncertainty and rising costs.
