Maya has posted its first-ever quarterly net income during the first three months of 2025, marking a major turning point for the fintech firm as it enters its first full year in the black.
Maya Bank has been named the Philippines’ best overall bank by Forbes and the country’s top digital bank by the Financial Times’ The Banker, beating both traditional and digital rivals.
Maya said it is one of the few digital banks in the Philippines to achieve profitability, supported by its integrated ecosystem of payments and digital banking solutions.
The veteran stock market analyst who accurately predicted GCash’s valuation surge in 2024 now believes competitor Maya, backed by PLDT Inc. and China’s Tencent, deserves a significant price upgrade.
PLDT chair Manuel V. Pangilinan is keeping both buy and sell options on the table for Maya as the fintech projects its first year of profitability by 2025, supported by its expanding digital banking business.
Tycoon Manuel V. Pangilinan said PLDT and the First Pacific Group are keen on increasing their ownership in financial technology firm Maya, a competitor of payments giant GCash, potentially taking even majority control should foreign investors decide to exit.
