With just a few taps on the Lounge Access tile in their Maya app, cardholders can generate a QR code and enter participating lounges worldwide\u2014no separate registration, no extra apps, no hassle. Whether to unwind before a flight or recharge between trips, Maya and Dragonpass make it seamless and stress-free.<\/p>\n

\u201cMaya Black reflects our goal to make premium experiences truly accessible,\u201d said Shailesh Baidwan, President of Maya Group and Co-Founder of Maya Bank.
\n\u201cThrough Dragonpass, our customers can now enjoy global lounge access directly from the app they already use for their everyday banking\u2014proof that financial innovation can be both practical and delightful.\u201d<\/p>\n

\u201cThis initiative with Maya represents the future of travel convenience,\u201d said Emre Dilmen, Chief Commercial Officer of Dragonpass. \u201cBy integrating lounge access directly within the Maya app, we\u2019re merging world-class travel experiences with everyday digital banking. Together, we\u2019re making premium travel effortless for more Filipinos\u2014right from the app they already trust.\u201d<\/p>\n

Through its collaboration with Dragonpass, Maya becomes the first fintech platform in the Philippines to embed global lounge access within its app via API (application programming interface). This signifies another step in Maya\u2019s mission to democratize premium banking\u2014bringing travel, rewards, and financial empowerment together in one experience.<\/p>\n

Each Maya Black cardholder enjoys one complimentary lounge pass per quarter, valid at participating airports in the Philippines and worldwide. This feature joins Maya Black\u2019s growing suite of lifestyle perks that blend smart security, personalized control, and premium rewards\u2014from numberless card design and instant spend management to AI-driven fraud protection and high-value Maya Miles.<\/p>\n

By turning complex travel privileges into a simple in-app experience, Maya underscores how innovation can create moments of everyday delight\u2014making banking not just smarter, but more human.<\/p>\n

The introduction of Maya Black in the market is also part of a bigger story: making premium credit experiences more accessible to Filipinos. For many, credit cards remain difficult to obtain\u201456% of adults found it challenging to get one in 2021, according to the Bangko Sentral ng Pilipinas, and only 15% held a credit card as of 2023, based on TransUnion data. Maya is changing that through digital-first credit access paired with meaningful lifestyle rewards\u2014turning what used to be elite privileges into experiences anyone can enjoy, right from their phone.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
