Philippine digital banking platform Maya has been recognized as “Neobank of the Year” and awarded for “Best Digital Fraud Protection Experience” at The Asset Triple A Digital Awards 2026.
Organized by the Asian financial publication The Asset, the annual awards recognize financial institutions across the Asia-Pacific and the Middle East that are advancing digital finance through innovation and customer experience. Maya shared the Neobank of the Year distinction with two Hong Kong-based institutions, ZA Bank and Mox Bank.
Focus on Fraud Protection and Security
According to the company, the recognition for Best Digital Fraud Protection Experience highlights the platform’s embedded security features and proactive risk management.
Maya’s security infrastructure integrates real-time monitoring and in-app controls, allowing customers to directly manage their account access and authorize transactions. The company noted that these consumer-facing features are supported by strict compliance frameworks, including international ISO/IEC 27001 and ISO/IEC 27701 certifications, as well as PCI DSS compliance.
