Maya, the Philippines’ #1 digital bank and fintech ecosystem, has officially launched the Maya Black Credit Card and Maya Black Preferred, bringing together its full suite of services, banking, payments, lending, and rewards, into one seamless and fully connected platform.
“We’re not just launching a credit card, we’re activating the full power of Maya’s ecosystem,” said Shailesh Baidwan, Maya Group President and Maya Bank Co-Founder. “With innovations like the Maya Black Preferred partner program, we will not only expand access to credit but also create even greater value for consumers and businesses alike.”
Maya Black Credit Card - Premium Access, Made Digital
The Maya Black Credit Card is designed to make premium financial tools more accessible to Filipinos. After its pilot launch in May 2025, the card already boasts over 40,000 cardholders, signaling strong demand ahead of its full rollout nationwide.
It offers both secured and unsecured credit lines, fast digital approval, instant virtual card issuance, and full control through the Maya app. Cardholders earn Maya Miles with every purchase, tracked in real time—and will soon be able to use these rewards directly at select Maya Black Preferred merchants or convert them to travel perks like Philippine Airlines' Mabuhay Miles.

To showcase its lifestyle appeal, Maya has teamed up with brand ambassadors Julia Barretto, Maris Racal, and Jericho Rosales, who embody a generation living boldly and on their own terms.

- 3,000 bonus miles when you activate the physical card and spend at least ₱5,000 within 60 days
- Access to global airport lounges via DragonPass, including PAGSS and Marhaba lounges at NAIA

Maya Black Preferred - Exclusive Rewards for Cardholders
Launching alongside the credit card is Maya Black Preferred, a rewards program that connects Maya’s credit platform with its vast merchant network.
With over 600 Maya Black Preferred merchant locations nationwide, cardholders can earn up to 10x Maya Miles when they shop at participating businesses. For merchants, this creates stronger customer loyalty and encourages higher spending, while giving them a direct stake in the credit experience.
Maya also plans to use insights from its merchant tools, Maya Checkout, Maya POS, and Maya Business Manager, to eventually offer tailored credit solutions to MSMEs. This move strengthens the link between consumers and merchants in Maya’s growing ecosystem.
Today, Maya is already the largest payment processor in the Philippines, handling over half of all card transactions nationwide through Maya Business.

Bridging the Credit Gap in the Philippines
Maya’s data-driven approach connects its banking and payments systems in real time, enabling faster credit approvals, smarter risk assessments, and personalized offers for users.
This is crucial in a country where access to credit remains limited. According to Bangko Sentral ng Pilipinas (BSP) data from 2021, 56% of adults found it hard to get a credit card. As of 2023, TransUnion reported that only 15% of Filipino adults actually had one.
Maya aims to change that, not just by issuing more credit cards, but by redefining how credit is earned, approved, and rewarded. With the Maya Black Credit Card and Maya Black Preferred, the company is pushing forward a future where premium financial access is within reach for more Filipinos.
