- The company declined to confirm IPO plans and said it does not comment on market speculation, noting its current focus on expanding services in the Philippines.
- PLDT data show 5.4 million customers and 68 billion pesos in loans in 2024 for Maya’s digital bank, which operates under a Bangko Sentral ng Pilipinas license.
- Maya’s app includes crypto trading, and users have reported intermittent trade execution problems during price spikes, raising questions about controls and disclosure for prospective investors.
