MANILA – Maya Philippines Inc. on Thursday unveiled Maya Stocks, a new feature that allows users to participate in initial public offerings (IPOs) directly through the Maya app.

According to the company, upgraded users can now open and fund a brokerage account in minutes and view available IPOs without leaving the app. Subscriptions are completed through participating brokers’ platforms, while Maya provides a secure and convenient channel for account setup and funding.

The feature goes live just in time for the Maynilad IPO offer period, scheduled from October 23 to 29, 2025, and will continue to support other company IPOs via 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,” he added. (PNA)
