Maya App Now Lets Filipinos Join Company IPOs, Simplifies Investment

Maya Philippines has unveiled a major new feature, "Maya Stocks," dramatically opening the door for its customers to participate directly in Initial Public Offerings (IPOs) of companies.

The launch transforms the digital wallet experience, allowing millions of users to turn their savings into investments through a mobile-first, simplified platform.

The feature is debuting just in time for a significant market event: the planned IPO of Maynilad Water Services Inc. (MYNLD). Maya Stocks will carry the offering through its initial partner brokers: DragonFi Securities Inc., F. Yap Securities Inc. (2TradeAsia), and Philstocks Financial.

Shailesh Baidwan, president and co-founder of Maya Group and Maya Bank, highlighted the strategic importance of the rollout. "Maya Stocks provides a mobile-first experience that simplifies what was once a multi-step process," Baidwan said in a statement.

Through the new feature, upgraded Maya users can complete several key steps—opening and funding a brokerage account, and viewing available IPOs—directly within the familiar Maya app interface. This integration is designed to remove the friction points often associated with traditional investment platforms.

Crucially for users, the platform enables instant funding of brokerage accounts via the Maya Wallet with zero transfer fees.

During the offer period, IPOs such as Maynilad’s will be visible on the participating brokers’ homepages inside the app. For the Maynilad subscription specifically, users are given an added benefit: no additional commission fees through the partner brokers' simplified channels.

Maya clarified, however, that while the IPO subscription is commission-free, regular stock trades made through the platform will remain subject to standard commission fees.

The new feature is live, coinciding with the Maynilad IPO offer period from October 23 to 29, 2025, and is set to become a permanent fixture for future company IPOs facilitated by Maya’s network of partner brokers.

How to Convert TikTok Paylater to Cash Guide and Review
