MANILA, Philippines — Businesses, big or small, need to adapt to modern times to stay competitive. Part of this is to take advantage of financial technology (fintech), as more and more consumers find cashless services more practical and convenient.
Fintech plays a big role in today’s society, which is what Maya Business wants to bolster as entrepreneurs move forward with the times.
PayMaya, the country’s largest processor of merchant payments, has relaunched its enterprise brand as Maya Business.
The new Maya Business seamlessly integrates omnichannel payment acceptance solutions, B2B and B2G payments, with digital banking services powered by Maya Bank, including a high-interest business deposit account and a range of credit products for enterprises and their customers.
To celebrate and showcase its newest offers, Maya Business made the rebrand official last July 28 at the Grand Ballroom of Shangri-La at The Fort in Bonifacio Global City, Taguig.
During the event, keynote speakers Department of Trade and Industry Secretary (DTI) Alfredo Pascual and Bangko Sentral ng Pilipinas (BSP) Governor Felipe Medalla emphasized the need to accelerate the digital transformation of businesses as critical components of sustainable economic growth and inclusion.
With the slogan “Make Big Moves With Maya Business,” Maya’s enterprise solutions unit reintroduced itself to the public.
The only end-to-end provider of fintech solutions
In his opening remarks, PayMaya CEO-Founder and Maya Bank Co-Founder Orlando B. Vea shared how fintech has played a role in the growth of every business and how it has become a growing requirement for many.
“In this age of digital technology, digital consumers and digital connectivity, fintech becomes a basic requirement for any enterprise to stay in the game. It’s a basic necessity,” he said.
“And for the more progressive enterprise, it’s an opportunity to get ahead,” he added.
Moreover, Vea highlighted how Maya has been at the forefront of fintech solutions in the country and how it welcomes its current and future partners to collaborate with them.
“Maya is now the center of excellence, the foremost purveyor of these enabling fintech solutions in the Philippines and we are happy to partner with you, our customers, in your big move,” he shared.
He also highlighted Maya’s features and how they can help entrepreneurs handle their finances and their business overall.
“We are providing not only payment services but other digital financial solutions to our partner merchants such as credit, savings, investments, disbursement and other three fintech solutions, which are all embedded in our Maya app and can be easily integrated with the enterprise and financial systems of our customers,” he explained.
Continued work with business owners
PayMaya Group President and Maya Bank Co-Founder Shailesh Baidwan vowed to continue working with small and large businesses as Maya continues being their all-in-one growth partner in finance.
“Maya Business will continue to work with our large enterprise partners to drive all their payment acceptance needs. But now we will also be able to provide you with new services like business deposit and payroll disbursements for your employees with Maya Bank,” he said.
“For our small and micro-enterprise partners, we will continue to be at the forefront of providing you with QR PH and all other payment needs. Moreover, we will also provide you with working capital loans and access to deposit accounts with Maya Bank to help you make your big move,” he added.
Bringing Maya customers and partners closer together, Baidwan hopes for a better future for everyone through the financial services and digital payments company.
“By bringing our Maya customers and Maya Bank to our Maya Business partners – whether it be for payments, deposits or credit – we hope to enable all of us to make a collective big move forward,” he shared.
