MAYA Philippines Inc., the country’s leading all-in-one finance platform, is making IPO participation more accessible to everyday Filipinos through its stock investing feature, Maya Stocks — now carrying the planned initial public offering (IPO) of Maynilad Water Services Inc. (PSE: MYNLD) via partner brokers DragonFi Securities Inc., F. Yap Securities Inc. (2tradeasia), and Philstocks Financial Inc.
Through Maya Stocks, upgraded users can open and fund a brokerage account in minutes and view available IPOs directly within the Maya app. IPO subscriptions are completed through participating brokers’ platforms, while Maya provides a secure and convenient channel for account opening and funding.
“Our goal has always been to make access to financial opportunities simpler and more inclusive,” said Shailesh Baidwan, Maya Group President and Co-Founder of Maya Bank. “Maya Stocks brings IPO participation closer to consumers by embedding a secure, regulated process into the same app they already use every day.”
Streamlined and secure participation
Maya Stocks provides a mobile-first experience that simplifies what was once a multi-step process. Users can open a brokerage account with participating brokers, fund it instantly via their Maya Wallet with no transfer fees, and view IPOs when available—all in one familiar interface.
During the offer period, IPOs such as Maynilad’s will be visible on participating brokers’ homepages within the Maya app. The platform enables seamless funding of brokerage accounts through the Maya Wallet with no transfer fees. In addition, users subscribing to the Maynilad IPO can do so with no additional commission fees through participating brokers’ simplified IPO channels. Commission fees continue to apply to regular stock trades.
The feature goes live in time for the Maynilad IPO offer period, which runs from Oct. 23 to 29, 2025, and will continue to be available for other company IPOs through Maya’s partner brokers. The Maynilad IPO can be accessed through participating brokers on Maya Stocks.
This integration highlights how digital platforms can simplify access to IPOs—especially for first-time participants seeking secure and familiar tools.
Democratizing access to investments
The launch of IPO visibility on Maya Stocks is part of Maya’s broader mission to expand access to essential financial tools and bring more Filipinos into the formal financial system. By integrating payments, banking, credit, and investing into one ecosystem, Maya continues to bridge everyday finance with investment opportunities.
