PLDT Seeks US and Philippine Listings for Fintech Unit Maya

PLDT Inc. will pursue dual listings for its fintech subsidiary Maya in the US and the Philippines, targeting a potential overseas debut in 2026, according to company leadership. The move marks PLDT’s strategic push to expand Maya’s global footprint while leveraging its strong domestic presence in digital financial services. A US listing would position Maya among international fintech players, potentially attracting foreign investors and accelerating growth in digital payments and banking. The Philippine IPO would strengthen local market confidence, aligning with the country’s growing demand for cashless transactions and financial inclusion. This dual-listing approach reflects PLDT’s broader ambition to monetize its fintech investments amid intensifying competition in Southeast Asia’s digital economy.
