\u201cThese global recognitions reflect the progress we\u2019ve made in scaling digital banking, while building the foundations for long-term growth,\u201d said Shailesh Baidwan, Maya Group President and Maya Bank Co-Founder. \u201cThey 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.\u201d<\/p>\n

Maya\u2019s growth continues to be supported by strong customer adoption and expanding product usage.\u00a0 As of end-2025, it reached approximately \u20b168 billion in deposits and 10.7 million bank customers, with total loans disbursed since 2022 reaching \u20b1256 billion. The Maya Group, which includes Maya Bank and Maya Philippines, reported \u20b11.7 billion in net income for 2025\u2014marking its first full year of profitability.<\/p>\n
