Maya, the Philippines’ leading digital financial services platform, is helping modernize the delivery of government services for Filipinos overseas by enabling secure and convenient digital payments for the Commission on Filipinos Overseas (CFO).\u00a0<\/strong><\/p>\n

Through Maya, Filipinos overseas and their families\u00a0can soon\u00a0be\u00a0able to conveniently pay for CFO services using a range of digital payment options, including cards, QR payments and digital wallets.\u00a0The initiative helps simplify transactions, reduce friction and improve access to government services for Filipinos overseas and their families.<\/p>\n

The CFO is the government agency mandated to promote and uphold the interests, rights and welfare of non-resident Filipinos, including permanent migrants, dual citizens, Filipino spouses and partners of foreign nationals, and their descendants. Through its programs and services, the agency helps strengthen the ties of Filipinos overseas with the Philippines and encourages their continued participation in nation-building.<\/p>\n

\u201cMore than six million non-resident Filipinos around the world belong to the Commission\u2019s constituency. Through our programs and services, we\u00a0seek\u00a0to help them\u00a0maintain\u00a0strong ties with the Philippines and encourage their continued participation in national development,\u201d said\u00a0CFO Secretary Dante\u00a0\u201cKlink\u201d\u00a0Ang II.<\/p>\n

\u201cThis partnership with Maya will help us make our services more efficient, accessible and convenient while opening opportunities to further engage non-resident Filipinos as partners in national development. Beyond payments, we see potential to explore other ways of helping Filipinos overseas strengthen their economic ties with the country,\u201d he added.<\/p>\n

The\u00a0collaboration\u00a0supports CFO\u2019s broader modernization agenda by enabling safer, faster and more convenient digital transactions. It also advances the agency\u2019s long-term vision of expanding digital and cashless service delivery across its operations.<\/p>\n

\u201cBy supporting the CFO\u2019s digitalization efforts, we are helping make transactions simpler and more convenient for Filipinos overseas and their families. This supports the government’s ease of doing business agenda while connecting people to digital financial tools that can\u00a0improve financial health,\u201d\u00a0said\u00a0Shailesh Baidwan, Maya Group President and Maya Bank Co-Founder.<\/p>\n

Supporting secure and convenient digital payments for CFO services is part of Maya\u2019s broader work to help modernize public service delivery through technology.\u00a0As a provider of digital payment infrastructure for government agencies and public sector institutions, Maya helps make transactions more accessible and efficient while supporting the government\u2019s digitalization\u00a0agenda.<\/p>\n

The\u00a0partnership\u00a0also complements Maya\u2019s efforts to support Filipinos overseas and their families. Earlier this year, Maya launched rebates on ATM withdrawals and<\/p>\n

InstaPay\u00a0transfers, as well as cashback on mobile load\u00a0top-ups for loved ones in the Philippines. As the country\u2019s first and only integrated bank-and-payments digital platform, Maya continues to expand access to financial services that help people save, pay and manage their finances more effectively.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
