Tala, the world’s first fintech company for the Global Majority, this week announced its partnership with Maya Bank, the digital bank leader in the Philippines, marking a significant milestone towards bridging the financial gap for millions of Filipinos during Money 20/20 Asia in Bangkok, Thailand. This collaboration represents a groundbreaking initiative in the country and the broader Southeast Asian market to channel an unprecedented amount of PHP 2.75 billion through independent digital platforms to ensure millions more Filipinos have access to credit.

Since entering the market in 2017, Tala has grown exponentially. It has disbursed over Php 85.32 billion to 2.7 million customers, and transformed into one of the biggest digital lenders in the Philippines. By serving nearly 9 million customers across three continents, Tala has unlocked the key to economic power for the world’s underbanked—credit.

“We’re thrilled to partner with Maya Bank in this endeavor, knowing that their mission and values are well-aligned with Tala’s,” said Charisse Alvarez, Tala President & Head of Finance, Strategy & Analytics. “We consider this a milestone in our commitment to become an accessible, reliable and trusted partner to our customers, one that helps them build financial resilience, stability, and ultimately, wealth.”

Maya Bank, as a pioneering digital bank in the Philippines, is transforming how money works for Filipino consumers and MSMEs, through innovative and relevant financial services, including savings and deposits. It is expanding its participation in solving for access to credit by partnering with digital lenders who have been working for the same mission of improving access to loans for the unbanked in the Philippines.

According to Angelo Madrid, President of Maya Bank, “We are proud to join forces with Tala, reinforcing our mutual dedication to inclusivity in financial services. This partnership is set to significantly expand the availability of financial solutions for Filipinos, leveraging the latest digital and mobile technologies. Our joint effort is a significant step towards closing the financial access gap, ensuring we meet the everyday financial needs of our customers in this digital age.”

This is just the beginning of a journey of serving billions more; 52% of the world’s population—almost 4 billion people – still face the financial access gap. As Tala strives to provide access to credit to the Global Majority, partnerships with banks with similar values and mission in Southeast Asia is critical. With Maya’s goal to expand its customer base and offerings and Tala’s mission to unleash the economic power of the Global Majority, this partnership achieves this mutual alignment, and together, they plan to transform how money works for Filipino consumers.
