Manila: Maya Philippines Inc. has launched a new feature, Maya Stocks, enabling users to participate in initial public offerings (IPOs) through the Maya app. In an official statement, the company announced the feature’s capability for upgraded users to open and fund a brokerage account in minutes, while also offering the ability to view available IPOs directly within the app.

According to Philippines News Agency, IPO subscriptions are facilitated through the platforms of participating brokers. Maya provides a secure and convenient channel for account opening and funding. The feature’s launch aligns with the Maynilad IPO offer period, scheduled from October 23 to 29, 2025, and will remain available for other company IPOs through Maya’s partner brokers. Users can access the Maynilad IPO via participating brokers on Maya Stocks.

Maya stated that the introduction of Maya Stocks is part of its strategy to expand access to essential financial tools, aiming to integrate more Filipinos into the formal financial system. “Our goal has always been to make access to financial opportunities simpler and more inclusive,” said Shailesh Baidwan, Maya Group president and Maya Bank co-founder. Baidwan emphasized that Maya Stocks brings IPO participation closer to consumers by embedding a secure, regulated process into the app they use daily.
