Freelancer Perks You Didn’t Know You Needed—Now in the Maya App

Let’s be real: freelancing looks like freedom, but behind the curated schedules and café-hopping gigs lies a truth every gig worker knows—one accident, one delay, one missed opportunity can throw your whole month off balance. No gigs, no income, no backup.

Maya, the #1 Digital Bank in the Philippines, gets it. That’s why it’s making it easier than ever for freelancers to enjoy perks usually reserved for the 9-to-5 crowd. We're talking high-yield savings, instant access to credit, seamless payments, and now, insurance coverage built for your lifestyle.

With Maya Savings, you can earn up to 15% interest per annum just by letting your money sit smart. Got an emergency? Maya Easy Credit gives you instant access to up to ₱30,000 right inside the app. And if you’re looking to spend smarter, Maya also offers credit cards built for your lifestyle: the Landers Cashback Everywhere Credit Card gives you up to 5% cashback at Landers Superstores, 2% on dining, and 1% on most everyday spends, while the Maya Black Credit Card lets you earn Maya Miles on every swipe—use it to shop, dine, or soon fly wherever your hustle takes you. 

And because life doesn’t always go as planned, Maya now gives you access to Singlife’s Cash for Income Loss (Accidents), a straightforward insurance plan you can get for as low as ₱1,196/year, with cash benefits of up to ₱50,000 per month for 36 months  if an accident puts you out of work. No fine print, no long forms, just real financial support when you need it most. The best part? You can purchase it directly through the Maya app, along with other Singlife plans like Cash for Goals, Cash for Medical Costs, and the 3-in-1 Protection Plan.

Here’s your sign: When you purchase any of these Singlife plans in Maya until the end of June, you get ₱500 cashback. It's coverage with benefits, just the way freelancers like it.

Speaking of perks, if you’re transferring your freelance earnings from PayPal, make sure you’re doing it through Maya. With a minimum transfer of ₱7,000, you’ll get ₱250 cashback.

Whether you're recovering from a curveball or gearing up for your next big win, Maya’s got your back. From protection to perks, this is how freelance life should feel—empowered, supported, and paid in full.
