Financial Independence Is the Real Power Move This Women’s Month and Maya Is Here to Help

 


Women’s Month this year opened with a clear message: women are done settling for less. Across social media, conversations about respect and accountability have been louder than ever.


But empowerment isn’t just about calling things out. For many, it’s also about making sure they never feel financially stuck in the first place. Because independence doesn’t only show up in conversations or personal choices. It shows up in everyday decisions, including how we manage our money.


As the country’s #1 Digital Bank and leading all-in-one fintech platform in the Philippines, Maya is helping more Filipinos take control of their finances with tools that make saving, spending, and borrowing easier to manage.


If you’re thinking about strengthening your own financial independence, here are a few places to start:


Start by Building Your Own Safety Net

One of the most empowering things you can do for yourself financially is having a buffer.


Life happens: a medical bill, an urgent repair, or a sudden trip. And when those things come up, having savings means you don’t have to rely on anyone else or scramble for solutions.


With Maya Personal Goals, you can create up to five savings targets for things like emergencies, travel, or future plans. Each goal earns 4% interest per annum immediately, and every ₱20,000 added increases the rate, reaching up to 8% p.a. on deposits of up to ₱100,000.


If you prefer a more structured way to grow your savings, Time Deposit Plus allows you to lock in funds for 3, 6, or 12 months, earning up to 6% p.a. on deposits of up to ₱1 million per account. With up to five accounts available, that’s as much as ₱5 million growing through disciplined saving.


Spend for Yourself. Not for Expectations.

Another part of financial independence is deciding what your money should actually go toward.


Used responsibly, credit cards can make everyday spending work in your favor. The Maya Black Credit Card, for example, turns routine purchases into rewards. Cardholders earn instant Maya Miles on all transactions — from groceries and bills to flights, hotel bookings, dining, and more.


At Maya Black Preferred merchants, you can earn up to 10X Maya Miles, helping rewards build faster on select purchases. Those Miles can later be used to offset future travel and lifestyle expenses.


With no annual fees for life, Maya Black also comes with premium perks like complimentary quarterly global lounge access, making travels more comfortable without the typical annual costs associated with premium cards.


For those who prioritize everyday savings, the Landers Cashback Everywhere Credit Card offers a practical way to make the most of your spending. Cardholders can enjoy up to 5% cashback at Landers, 2% cashback on dining, and 1% cashback on other transactions, turning routine expenses into real savings.


Borrow When You Need To — But Borrow Smart

Independence doesn’t mean never seeking help. It means knowing your options.


For short-term needs, Maya Easy Credit1 offers a revolving credit line of up to ₱50,000, payable up to 30 days, helping bridge temporary cash flow gaps while giving you clear visibility into repayment.


For big goals or unexpected expenses, Maya Personal Loan2 provides up to ₱250,000 with flexible repayment terms of up to 24 months, making it easier to manage obligations without unpredictable balances.


Having a variety of borrowing options means you can stay in control of the situation, not the other way around.


Let Your Money Grow Alongside Your Goals

Financial independence rarely comes from one big move. More often, it’s built through small decisions like saving consistently, spending intentionally, and making sure your money is working for you.


Keeping funds in Maya Savings can earn up to 15% interest per annum, credited daily, helping balances grow steadily while remaining accessible when needed.


Women’s Month is often about celebrating progress. But it’s also a reminder of something important: Independence isn’t just social or cultural. It’s financial too. And increasingly, more Filipinas are making sure they have both.


To know more, visit maya.ph or mayabank.ph, and follow @mayaiseverything on Facebook, Instagram, YouTube, and TikTok to stay updated. Approval and offer are subject to credit evaluation. Maya Philippines, Inc. and Maya Bank, Inc. are regulated by the Bangko Sentral ng Pilipinas (www.bsp.gov.ph). Deposits are insured by PDIC up to ₱1 million per depositor. For 24/7 assistance, visit the Help Center in the Maya app or call us from 8 AM to 7 PM daily at +632 8845-7788.



Your Connection is Your Miles: Globe Platinum Reimagines Travel with the All-New GPlan featuring Philippine Airlines Mabuhay Miles

 


Modern explorers embrace travel as a fundamental way of life. They thrive on the thrill of morning coffee in a different time zone, the pursuit of a sunset on a new horizon, and the seamless transition from a high-stakes meeting to a quiet coastal retreat. Recognizing that the world serves as the ultimate destination for its members, Globe has officially signaled a new era of loyalty with the launch of the all-new Platinum GPlan featuring Philippine Airlines Mabuhay Miles.

This first-to-market innovation transforms the traditional mobile subscription into a continuous "passport for premium experiences," allowing customers to earn airline Miles automatically as part of their monthly plan.

Powering Your Perspective

Globe is shifting its focus from hardware to high-flying experiences, acknowledging that Platinum members prioritize elevated perks that match their sophisticated pace. While airport lounge access remains a staple benefit, the integration of Philippine Airlines Mabuhay Miles offers a value proposition that grows over time. This ensures that even during months spent at home, members steadily draw closer to their next getaway.

The new portfolio acknowledges the personal nature of value, offering three distinct paths to match a member's specific expression of their lifestyle. Options include the latest technology delivered seamlessly through curated flagship Devices, or boundless Connectivity featuring access to premium data and priority service. Those who view the world as their office and playground can instead turn their plan into an engine for Global Exploration by earning Miles.

"We are taking our commitment to the Platinum lifestyle to new heights," said Globe Platinum Director and Head of Strategy, Experience, and Transformation Leonard Grape. "What if your connection could actually be the reason you get to travel in the first place? With the Platinum GPlan with Philippine Airlines Mabuhay Miles, we are ensuring that your loyalty is rewarded with the ultimate luxury: the freedom to explore."


Seamless Experience, Continuous Rewards

In a life defined by constant movement, Globe aims to eliminate friction. This partnership with Philippine Airlines, the country’s flag carrier, ensures a seamless experience where Miles are credited directly to Mabuhay Miles accounts. These Miles can be redeemed with ease for flights, extra luggage allowance, seat upgrades, and inflight meals.

The new Platinum GPlan provides a structured path to travel through tiered monthly rewards designed for diverse journeys. Subscribers of the Platinum GPlan 3799 receive 800 Mabuhay Miles per month, while those on the Platinum GPlan 4999 earn 1,000 Mabuhay Miles. For the ultimate travel experience, the Platinum GPlan 7999 awards members 1,600 Mabuhay Miles monthly, allowing rewards to accumulate steadily toward a chosen destination.

A Gateway to the World

The Miles-enabled Platinum GPlan offers long-term value for the affluent customer who prioritizes experiences over frequent hardware upgrades. It ensures that every month of the subscription remains consistently relevant and rewarding.

"Platinum rewards your lifestyle, not just your phone," Globe Head of Platinum Mark Pasaylo said. "Whether you are flying for a high-stakes meeting or a quiet sunset in a new city, we want you to feel that your partnership with us is truly taking you places."

This initiative reinforces Globe Platinum's position as a lifestyle partner, combining signature perks like airport lounge access, digital lifestyle concierge, and priority store handling with a tangible, premium path to global exploration.
