Maya recognized by Forbes, The Asian Banker

The Asian Banker noted that Maya Bank achieved full-year profitability within two and a half years of launch, placing it among a group of digital banks that have moved beyond early-stage expansion into more structured, sustainable growth. 

Maya has been recognized in global rankings by Forbes and The Asian Banker, reflecting the continued growth of its digital banking business operating at scale and achieving profitability. 

Maya is included in Forbes’ World’s Best Banks 2026 list, marking its fourth consecutive year on the global ranking. In the Philippines, it is among a select group of banks recognized this year, spanning both digital and established institutions. The list is based on a survey of more than 54,000 consumers across 34 countries, evaluating banks across trustworthiness, digital services, customer experience and overall satisfaction.

Meanwhile, Maya has also been included in the World’s Top 100 Digital Banks Ranking 2026 by The Asian Banker, a global benchmarking of digital banks based on scale, financial performance and operational strength. It is the only Philippine digital bank included among the top 20 of the ranking.

The Asian Banker noted that Maya Bank achieved full-year profitability within two and a half years of launch, placing it among a group of digital banks that have moved beyond early-stage expansion into more structured, sustainable growth.

“These global recognitions reflect the progress we’ve made in scaling digital banking, while building the foundations for long-term growth,” said Shailesh Baidwan, Maya Group President and Maya Bank Co-Founder. “They are also a reflection of the trust our customers place in us every day and the work our teams continue to put into strengthening the platform as we grow.”

Maya’s growth continues to be supported by strong customer adoption and expanding product usage.  As of end-2025, it reached approximately ₱68 billion in deposits and 10.7 million bank customers, with total loans disbursed since 2022 reaching ₱256 billion. The Maya Group, which includes Maya Bank and Maya Philippines, reported ₱1.7 billion in net income for 2025—marking its first full year of profitability.

Maya’s digital banking services are part of the broader Maya ecosystem, which combines payments, savings and credit in an integrated platform. Through this ecosystem, Maya delivers financial services more efficiently to consumers and businesses, encouraging broader digital financial adoption and helping customers achieve improved financial health.

Globally, top digital banks are entering a more disciplined phase of growth, with increasing focus on profitability, customer engagement and operational efficiency. Maya’s inclusion in both rankings reflects its leadership and progress in scaling within this evolving landscape.
