Maya also accelerated its topline growth in the same quarter, building further on the more than 100% revenue growth achieved in full-year 2024 vs. 2023.<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Maya has created the leading fintech ecosystem in the Philippines. It is the leading merchant acquirer and the largest digital bank by deposit base. Maya began its journey as a payments provider and launched its digital bank in 2022. Since then, its net revenues have grown over 5x, and the company achieved profitability in December 2024. This milestone reflects the company\u2019s sustained growth across digital banking, payments, and lending, reinforcing its position as the country\u2019s most trusted and integrated fintech platform. &nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Maya\u2019s first quarter 2025 performance was fueled by robust lending activity and continued leadership in deposits and payments. Loan disbursals reached nearly Php 28 billion in the first quarter alone, with cumulative disbursements totaling Php 120 billion. &nbsp;Maya\u2019s loan-to-deposit ratio improved to 51.1%, signaling strong credit demand and disciplined capital deployment.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Maya also continued to strengthen its position as the #1 digital bank in the Philippines by deposit balance, ending the quarter with Php 43.6 billion in total deposits\u2014approximately double that of the next largest digital bank. This achievement highlights the trust Maya has built among its customers and its capacity to support accelerated credit expansion.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Asset quality remained sound, with a non-performing loan (NPL) ratio of just 3.8%, significantly below the digital banking industry average. This underscores the strength of its risk management systems amid rapid portfolio growth.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Maya is also accelerating growth in its merchant business through an integrated payments and banking platform designed for large enterprises, as well as small and micro businesses. In 2024, Maya processed over \u20b11 trillion in payments for merchants, leading the market in digital transactions. Visa has also previously recognized Maya as the top acquirer for merchant transaction volume, underscoring their shared commitment to drive digital acceptance and cashless transactions.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">\u201cWe are proud to deliver strong growth across all our products, continued scaling of our&nbsp;integrated ecosystem,&nbsp;and achieving&nbsp;net income profitability&nbsp;in Q1 2025,\u201d said Shailesh Baidwan, Maya Group President and Maya Bank Co-Founder. \u201cThis reflects the strength of our model\u2014anchored on innovation, disciplined execution, and a clear mission to expand access to digital financial services for millions of Filipinos.\u201d&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">With a strong first quarter 2025 performance, Maya is on track to accelerate its ecosystem growth\u2014expanding its credit portfolio, enhancing merchant offerings, &nbsp;growing its consumer platform with products like credit cards, and deepening its impact by democratizing finance in the Philippines.&nbsp;<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Maya also accelerated its topline growth in the same quarter, building further on the more than 100% revenue growth achieved in full-year 2024 vs. 2023.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":6,"featured_media":51841,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"closed","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[19],"tags":[4796,1185,7376],"class_list":["post-69408","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-headlines","tag-bank-industry","tag-banking-and-finance","tag-maya"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"http:\/\/www.upgrademag.com\/web\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/69408","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"http:\/\/www.upgrademag.com\/web\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"http:\/\/www.upgrademag.com\/web\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"http:\/\/www.upgrademag.com\/web\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/6"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"http:\/\/www.upgrademag.com\/web\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=69408"}],"version-history":[{"count":1,"href":"http:\/\/www.upgrademag.com\/web\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/69408\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":69409,"href":"http:\/\/www.upgrademag.com\/web\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/69408\/revisions\/69409"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"http:\/\/www.upgrademag.com\/web\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/51841"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"http:\/\/www.upgrademag.com\/web\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=69408"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"http:\/\/www.upgrademag.com\/web\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=69408"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"http:\/\/www.upgrademag.com\/web\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=69408"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
