Maya is making cryptocurrency more accessible to Filipinos through its Maya Crypto service, which allows users to buy, sell, and receive supported digital currencies directly within the Maya app, with purchases starting at just ₱1.
The integrated crypto service eliminates the need for a separate trading platform, giving users a convenient way to explore digital assets through their existing Maya accounts. The platform also allows users to manage their cryptocurrency holdings through an in-app portfolio.
To encourage participation, Maya is offering a promotional raffle running from October 22 to December 17, 2026, giving eligible Maya Crypto users a chance to win a ₱1 million cash grand prize. Other prizes include weekly rewards of ₱1,000 and ₱10,000, as well as monthly prizes of ₱100,000.
Users must first opt in to the promotion through the Maya app. Once enrolled, every ₱1 worth of eligible cryptocurrency bought or sold earns one raffle entry. For example, a qualifying ₱100 transaction generates 100 entries. Only eligible transactions completed after successful registration will count.
To access Maya Crypto, users can log in to the app, select Crypto from the dashboard, choose a supported cryptocurrency, enter an amount, and confirm the transaction. Purchased digital assets will appear in their Maya Crypto portfolio.
Maya reminds users that cryptocurrency trading involves significant risks because digital asset prices can fluctuate sharply, potentially resulting in the loss of some or all invested funds. Cryptocurrencies are not legal tender, bank deposits, or covered by Philippine Deposit Insurance Corporation (PDIC) protection.
Cryptocurrency services are provided by Maya Philippines, Inc., which is regulated by the Bangko Sentral ng Pilipinas.
