Maya, the leading digital bank and payments processor in the Philippines, is taking a significant step in supporting the Department of Social Welfare and Development (DSWD) in its drive to digitize donations. Through the newly launched Kaagapay Donations Portal and Harmonized Electronic Licensing and Permit System (HELPS), Maya’s innovative financial technology will enable a more seamless, secure, and transparent donation process.
As part of this collaboration, Maya’s digital payment solutions will be integrated into the HELPS portal, allowing organizations to complete transactions for registration, accreditation, and public solicitation through a streamlined online system. Foundations and social welfare and development agencies (SWDAs) that register with DSWD will automatically be listed in the Kaagapay Donations Portal, making it easier for them to connect with potential donors and receive contributions efficiently.
“Digitizing donations is a crucial step in making charitable giving more efficient and transparent. DSWD’s initiative helps ensure that support reaches organizations faster and with greater accountability. We’re glad to contribute to this shift toward a modern, accessible donation system,” said Kristoffer Eduard Rada, Maya’s Head of Government Relations and Regulatory Affairs.
This initiative aligns with the Philippine government’s broader agenda of modernizing financial transactions and improving the ease of doing business. By reducing paperwork, automating processes, and enabling cashless payments, the integration of digital solutions enhances the accessibility and efficiency of public services. Maya has been at the forefront of this transformation, partnering with government agencies to drive digital disbursement programs and promote financial inclusion nationwide.
By supporting this transition, Maya continues to reinforce its commitment to making financial transactions more accessible—not only for businesses and individuals but also for causes that create a meaningful impact in communities. With digital banking solutions, charitable organizations can receive funds faster, donors can contribute securely from anywhere, and regulatory processes become more streamlined.
Maya is the #1 fintech ecosystem in the Philippines, composed of Maya Bank, the country’s top digital bank, and Maya Business, the leading omni-channel payment processor. Maya Bank operates under the regulations of the Bangko Sentral ng Pilipinas (BSP), ensuring compliance with financial standards and security measures. Additionally, deposits in Maya Bank are insured by the Philippine Deposit Insurance Corporation (PDIC) for up to ₱500,000 per depositor, providing users with peace of mind when managing their funds.
