Even with the continued growth of the Philippine middle class and record-low poverty rates, access to credit continues to be a major financial hurdle for many Filipinos. While demand for credit is high, most Filipinos continue to have limited access to formal credit options despite the population’s growing wealth.
This state of affairs is largely down to how the mainstream credit market is set up in the Philippines. While the industry is offering more services to cater to newly prosperous Filipinos, traditional banking institutions are not yet fully focused on the growing consumer market, making it difficult for the average Filipino to qualify for a credit card or a loan.
Like all lenders, traditional banks assess creditworthiness based on factors such as income stability, credit history, and existing debt. However, their focus on established businesses and higher-income individuals often means that freelancers or small business owners may easily get rejected or receive offers that are too low to be of any use. Likewise, young professionals and first-time borrowers may also struggle to get credit card and loan approvals because they’ve yet to establish personal credit histories.
If you’ve been denied a credit card or simply don’t want the hassle of traditional lending, Maya Easy Credit emerges as a solid alternative. It is a flexible credit line that’s exclusive to Maya app users, providing easy access to funds as well as an accessible way to build up one’s credit history.

Because traditional banks rely on credit scores to determine eligibility, first-time borrowers are almost always at a disadvantage.
