The Market Monitor Minding the Nation's Business
Maya Philippines Inc. has launched Maya Stocks, a new feature that allows users to participate in initial public offerings (IPOs) directly through the Maya app — making investing in newly listed companies faster and easier than ever.
The fintech firm said upgraded users can now open and fund a brokerage account within minutes, view available IPOs, and subscribe through participating brokers’ platforms — all seamlessly linked to their Maya accounts.
The feature goes live just in time for the Maynilad IPO offer period from October 23 to 29, 2025, and will remain available for future IPOs through Maya’s partner brokers.
“Our goal has always been to make access to financial opportunities simpler and more inclusive,” said Maya Group President and Maya Bank Co-founder Shailesh Baidwan. “Maya Stocks brings IPO participation closer to consumers by embedding a secure, regulated process into the same app they already use every day.”
Maya said the launch marks another step in its mission to expand access to essential financial tools and bring more Filipinos into the formal financial system.
