Maya and Grab, the top digital bank in the Philippines, have partnered to make borrowing money more accessible for Filipinos. Grab users can now access up to ₱30,000 instantly through Maya Easy Credit without waiting, collateral, or paperwork. To access the credit line, users must complete a form on the Grab app, provide their mobile number and consent to Maya, download the Maya app, sign up, and upgrade their account.

Martha Borja, Regional Head of Payments of the Grab Financial Group, shares, “At Grab, our mission extends beyond innovating in transportation and on-demand deliveries; it encompasses driving progress in financial inclusivity for millions of Filipinos. An expression of this is this landmark partnership with Maya Bank, effectively making Maya Credit more accessible to the millions of Grab users we serve daily. This collaboration represents a significant step in providing convenient access to non-traditional financial solutions directly through the Grab app, enriching lives, and expanding financial horizons for our users.”

Angelo Madrid, President of Maya Bank, added, “One of the biggest financial challenges Filipinos face is the lack of access to reliable and trustworthy lending services. So, we’re very excited to partner with Grab to make it easier than ever to open a credit line of up to ₱30,000 with Maya Easy Credit.”

Eligible Grab customers can use Maya Easy Credit to top up their Maya Wallet and effortlessly pay for Grab rides or food deliveries. This gives them more budget flexibility within the Grab app.

Maya has also made it much easier for Grab users to pay within their super app. They can link their Maya accounts using their mobile number and connect their Maya Cards to the Grab app for effortless payments across services.

With these extra funds, Grab users can also increase their savings or invest in stocks and mutual funds through Maya’s partner marketplace, all from within the Maya app. Moreover, every transaction enhances the user’s Maya Savings interest rate, potentially up to 14% annually, and helps raise their future credit limits.

This new partnership propels Maya closer to bridging the financing gap in the Philippines. Since beginning its lending operations in 2022, Maya had disbursed ₱47 billion in loans to approximately 1.2 million borrowers by the end of June 2024, with 59% of whom chose Maya as their first bank partner for loans.
