Maya Philippines Inc., a leading all-in-one finance platform, is making IPO participation more accessible to everyday Filipinos through its stock investing feature, Maya Stocks. The platform now offers access to the planned initial public offering (IPO) of Maynilad Water Services Inc. (PSE: MYNLD) via partner brokers DragonFi Securities, F. Yap Securities (2tradeasia), and Philstocks Financial.
Upgraded Maya users can open and fund brokerage accounts in minutes and view available IPOs directly within the app. IPO subscriptions are completed through the brokers’ platforms, while Maya provides a secure and convenient channel for account opening and funding.
“Our goal has always been to make access to financial opportunities simpler and more inclusive,” said Shailesh Baidwan, Maya Group president and co-founder of Maya Bank. “Maya Stocks brings IPO participation closer to consumers by embedding a secure, regulated process into the same app they already use every day.”
Maya Stocks offers a streamlined, mobile-first experience, allowing users to open brokerage accounts, fund them instantly via Maya Wallet with no transfer fees, and subscribe to IPOs with no additional commission fees during offer periods. The Maynilad IPO subscription runs from October 23 to 29, 2025, and will be accessible through participating brokers on the platform.
The initiative highlights how digital platforms are democratizing investment access, especially for first-time investors, by integrating payments, banking, credit, and investing into one ecosystem to bring more Filipinos into the formal financial system.
