Maya has made its mark in the global stage by winning the coveted Best Digital Bank at the World Digital Bank (WDB) Awards 2023, underscoring its position as the leading force in digital banking across Southeast Asia.

Maya bested other players and won the competition’s country and Southeast Asia leg, organized by The Digital Banker.

For its leading-edge product innovations, next-level customer experience, and undisputed market leadership, Maya landed 8th in the Top 10 best global digital banks based on The Digital Banker’s assessment of all participating banks, joining the ranks of Starling Bank, Kakaobank, Revolut, WeBank, NuBank, and MOX Bank, among others.

In its citation, The Digital Banker said: “Philippine-based Maya has combined the power of its e-wallet proposition to offer savings, instant credit, and cryptocurrency services under a seamless experience. It’s one of the best examples of how digital banks are reimagining the digital process to drive customer interaction and usage.”

“We’ve broken industry records with our game-changing innovations as we rapidly scale our digital banking services across our comprehensive consumer and enterprise ecosystem. The recognition is a welcome vote of confidence, and we thank our customers and partners for the continuous trust,” said Maya Bank President Angelo Madrid.
