Maya eyes dual public listing, in PH and US

Fintech firm Maya is planning to go public in the second half of 2026, both in the Philippines and the United States.

This was disclosed by its chairman Manuel Pangilinan at the sidelines of Meralco’s 2025 financial results briefing in Makati City on Wednesday.

“That’s what our foreign shareholders want but we’re insisting on dual listing,” Pangilinan said, noting that the US listing would be first, then followed by an initial public offering (IPO) in the Philippines.

He said the planned dual IPO would raise new funds for Maya.

He added that PLDT Group and its parent First Pacific, owning a combined 39% of Maya, are not planning to reduce their stake despite planning to offer the fintech’s shares to the investing public.

Maya saw profitability in 2025, booking P1.6 billion in the first nine months of last year.

Its loan portfolio also grew 59% to P27 billion, while deposits increase 44% to P56.7 billion. — BM, GMA Integrated News
