Maya is reportedly considering a U.S. initial public offering that could raise up to $1 billion, according to a Bloomberg report. The company is said to be working with advisers as it evaluates the potential listing.
A U.S. venue could give Maya access to a broader pool of institutional investors and deeper capital markets, particularly as large-scale technology listings in Southeast Asia have remained limited in recent years.
Maya operates under a digital banking license from the Bangko Sentral ng Pilipinas. Its app offers savings accounts, consumer loans, payments, and merchant services. It also runs an in-app cryptocurrency trading platform under a regulated virtual asset service provider framework.
The company has not disclosed how much of its revenue comes from its crypto segment. However, some users have reported intermittent issues executing crypto trades during periods of high price volatility, including instances where certain tokens were marked temporarily unavailable. Maya has not publicly commented on these reports.
The potential IPO comes as U.S. markets show signs of recovery in tech and fintech listings. Data cited in recent reports show IPO activity rebounded in 2025, with higher deal counts and proceeds compared to previous years.
Local observers say investor scrutiny will likely focus on earnings stability, governance, and risk controls, particularly given Maya’s crypto exposure. Analysts note that U.S. investors may assess the offering within a broader regional context, comparing the Philippines’ fintech landscape with neighboring markets.
Maya has not formally confirmed IPO plans.
