Maya is now offering its app users crypto purchases for as little as ₱1. Through Maya Crypto, users can buy, sell, and receive supported cryptocurrencies within the same app. Purchased crypto appears in their Maya Crypto portfolio, where they can view their holdings.
However, Maya reminded users to understand the cryptocurrency they plan to buy before making a purchase. Prices can change significantly, and users could lose some or all of the money they put in.
Maya is running a raffle from Oct. 22 to Dec. 17, 2026, for eligible Maya Crypto users. Prizes include one ₱1 million cash grand prize, weekly prizes of ₱1,000 and ₱10,000, and monthly prizes of ₱100,000.
Users must first opt in through an invitation in the Maya app. After successful enrollment, every ₱1 worth of eligible cryptocurrency bought or sold earns one raffle entry. A qualifying ₱100 transaction, for example, earns 100 entries.
Only eligible transactions completed after successful enrollment count toward the raffle.
To buy cryptocurrency, users can open the Maya app, select Crypto from the dashboard, and tap Buy. They then choose a supported cryptocurrency, enter an amount starting at ₱1, and tap Pay to confirm the purchase.
The low starting amount does not remove the risks of cryptocurrency trading. Maya advised users to spend only an amount they can afford to lose.
Cryptocurrency is not legal tender or a bank deposit. It is also not insured by the Philippine Deposit Insurance Corp. (PDIC).
