Empowering SMEs: Introducing Maya Business 1-2-3 Grow Bundle for All-in-One Digital Banking Solutions

Maya, the country's fintech game-changer with the undisputed # 1 Digital Bank and #1 Omni-Channel Payment Processor, is revolutionizing how small and medium enterprises (SMEs) can thrive in the new economy with the Maya Business 1-2-3 Grow Bundle.   

  

This all-in-one package integrates payments, business deposits, and credit solutions to help SMEs supercharge their profits and accelerate business growth through three essential components:  

1. Payments: Accept all QR payments with one QRPh code (including Gcash, GrabPay, ShopeePay, BDO, BPI, among others) and enjoy a 1% discount on your MDR (Merchant discount rate) for three months. This results in cost-savings of P4,600 for every P1 million worth of sales for your business.  
2. Business Deposit: Open a Maya Business Deposit account and earn 2.5% p.a. interest, 20-25 times higher than other banks.  
3. Maya Flexi Loan: Get a loan offer of up to PHP 2 million in just 3 months after using Maya as your primary processor for all your wallet and card transactions. No collateral needed.

 

"Maya is already the payments backbone of the Philippines and trusted to power payments of businesses of all shapes and sizes. We are extending our support even further by bringing all-in-one digital banking to SMEs because they are underserved by traditional banks. Our seamless Maya Flexi Loan experience makes it easy for a small business to secure credit that will help them take advantage of growth opportunities – without ever having to set foot in a bank branch," said Shailesh Baidwan, Maya Group President and Maya Bank Co-Founder.  

  

Revolutionizing SME Banking in the Philippines   

Maya's all-in-one financial services under the Maya Business Manager dashboard provide a seamless experience. Entrepreneurs can easily manage online payments, accept card and QR Ph in-store, streamline payouts, and more.  

   

"We aim to revolutionize SME Banking in the country. With our simplified all-in-one approach, we will empower our SMEs to focus on growing their business instead of managing the hassles of multiple financial partners” explained Richard Labitag, Head of SME Business at Maya.  

   

SMEs can take advantage of the Maya Business 1-2-3 Grow Bundle in just three simple steps:  

1. Create a free account at pbm.paymaya.com.  
2. Submit the requirements and apply for a Business Deposit as a settlement account on the Business Manager dashboard.  
3. Once approved, use Maya's payment solutions for at least three months to qualify for a Flexi Loan.  

 

Growth partner for SMEs  

Despite the rise of digital payments, cash still reigns supreme for SMEs. According to a 2021 market study commissioned by Maya, 94% of SME transactions were conducted in hard cash. This reliance on cash limits their digital and financial footprint, restricting their access to advanced banking services like credit.  

  

To tackle this challenge, Maya takes a groundbreaking step as the first bank in the Philippines to seamlessly utilize alternative payment data for pre-approving SME loans. SMEs can now access credit by merely using Maya for their payments and daily business transactions.  

  

Additionally, Maya actively drives the adoption of QR Ph, the country's QR payment standard, aiding SMEs in expanding their transaction footprint. Furthermore, by linking SMEs to its extensive consumer network, Maya offers access to a growing high-value market that favors digital payments.  

    

Maya is the #1 Fintech Ecosystem in the Philippines with Maya, the #1 Digital Bank, and Maya Business the #1 Omni-Channel Payment Processor.

LG CEO Unveils Ambitious Vision to Shape LG into a 'Smart Life Solutions Company

LG Electronics (LG) declared its vision to transform from its current position as a top global home appliance brand to a “smart life solutions company” that can connect and expand customers’ diverse experiences while driving for global annual revenues of KRW 100 trillion by 2030.

 

Mr. William Cho, LG CEO  In a landmark speech today at the LG Sciencepark in Seoul, South Korea, CEO William Cho outlined the bold vision built on three growth engines: pursuing new platform based service businesses through advancement of business portfolio, accelerating business-to-business (B2B) and exploring new business areas such as electronics vehicle charging and digital health. The CEO identified electrification, servitization and digitalization as key inflection points LG will focus on to achieve rapid mid- to long-term growth

“LG will continue to pursue its bold vision to transform and leap forward as a smart life solutions company that connects and expands customers’ various spaces and experiences, rather than resting on its current position as the best home appliance brand that provides quality products,” said CEO Cho. “We will establish a brand-new LG by reinventing the way we work and communicate toward this goal.”

 

The CEO also highlighted the company’s financial objectives. “We will achieve Triple 7, which encompasses an average growth rate and operating profit of 7 percent or more as well as enterprise value to EBITDA ratio of 7,” said the CEO. “With the goal of raising sales from KRW 65 trillion last year to KRW 100 trillion by 2030, we will establish ourselves as a company that is properly recognized by the market and customers.”

 

Cho said LG will focus on the transition to the platform based service business model, acceleration of B2B areas and procurement of new growth engines based on competitive edge as three pillars to focus on customer experience. By 2030, the proportion of these three pillars in sales and operating profit is expected to increase to more than 50 percent.

 

The company plans to invest more than KRW 50 trillion by 2030 for the qualitative growth of the business, including the advancing of the business portfolio led by the three new growth engines. This includes an R&D investment of more than KRW 25 trillion, facility investment of more than KRW 17 trillion and strategic investment of KRW 7 trillion.

 

The company is also accelerating the expansion of its B2B business, the CEO explained. LG’s rich understanding of customers as well as the know-how to communicate and empathize with customers that have been accumulated in the B2C business, which has seen continuous innovation over the past 65 years, will be fully expanded to commercial, mobility and virtual spaces.

 

Cho highlighted how LG is accelerating company-wide changes from corporate culture to brand communication at every customer contact point with the ultimate goal of becoming a brand that warms the hearts of customers and puts smiles on their faces while enabling customers to feel the value and philosophy of Life’s Good. The company is also driving ESG management activities to fulfill its responsibilities as a global corporate citizen.

Life's about more than having the latest technology, rather, it's about the experiences technology creates that impact our lives. LG Electronics Philippines delivers consumer electronics through top-of-the-line home entertainment, home appliances, and air solution products that prepare Filipinos for their greatest moments. LG promises to bring "Innovation for a Better Life" nationwide - from Luzon, to Visayas, and Mindanao.

“How far will you go for yourself versus protecting your family?” Executive Producer Jane Featherstone on how family feuds take a violent turn in Gangs of London

Navigate the intricate dynamics of London's most notorious crime families in the new season of 'Gangs of London', starring Sope Dìrísù and Waleed Zuaiter when it streams exclusively on Lionsgate Play. 

Family drama and power struggles once again take center stage in the much-anticipated second season of Gangs of London, exclusively streaming on Lionsgate Play.The volatile landscape of London's underworld has been dramatically reshaped following the death of Sean Wallace (Joe Cole) and the bloody upheavals of Season 1. With the Wallaces scattered and the Dumanis estranged, a new, ruthless order has emerged under the leadership of the brutal gang leader — Koba (Waleed Zuaiter). His reign of terror, marked by battlefield atrocities, torture, and family kidnappings, is designed to cow other gangs into submission. 

Meanwhile, ex-undercover cop Elliot Carter (Sope Dìrísù) delves back into the dark underbelly of London to investigate gangland assassinations, he uncovers stirrings of rebellion. This season promises a rollercoaster of betrayals, alliances, brutal murders, and breathtaking action sequences. Yet at its core, the series is an exploration of the complexities of family relationships, set against a backdrop of crime and power struggles.

When asked about how the show makes hyper stylized ultraviolence and emotional family beats work together, Executive Producer Thomas Benski said, “It’s that modern classic, isn’t it? It’s that classic Shakespearean tragedy of family through a very modern lens. We’ve all been so attentive on the tonal balance, that attention and obsession to detail, that allowed it to find its place, and there is so much thought. Action is a genre that sometimes can be simplistic, right? Whereas this, the idea was to create something that had many layers. There’s obviously a very ultra-violent, action-driven, path but the way it was written felt more like a family saga.”

 

Season 2’s main antagonist Koba is a formidable foe precisely because of his lack of family ties, explained Waleed Zuaiter: “One of the things that we explore in both series, and very much so in the second series, is family loyalties. Koba appears to have no loyalties to anybody or anything other than himself and he considers that to be a massive strength. In fact, it was all based on research which the writers do, which is that real Georgian gangsters are advised never to have a relationship, not to have a partner or children, because ultimately then you have a weakness which is shown in Luan and with Marian and with everybody. Anyone who loves another person has a weakness and so Koba doesn’t appear to love anybody or anything. Our guys do: Elliot has his father and he lost his wife and he loves Shannon; Marian ultimately will do anything for her children and she’s lost one of them and she has two remaining who she has to look after. Those people are weak as a result of that, and indeed that’s how it played out. It’s like: how far will you go for yourself versus protecting your family? Asif lost his son in S1 and what does now mean for him? It makes people reckless to have lost everything. It makes you very dangerous. So Koba is very dangerous because he has nothing to lose. He doesn’t care at all, and as a result what we’ve got is somebody who infects our gangs that we know and love, who do have family at the heart of them ultimately, who are built on family and tradition. He infects them and by the end those families are fighting each other inside the families and with each other in a way that we would probably never have predicted in S1.”

 

Waleed Zuaiter, who plays Koba, also talked about his character’s ruthlessness: “His code is ‘no family’ and that’s a really nice juxtaposition to everything about the show, because so much of Gangs is about family. From my research, the Georgian gang culture has evolved a little bit but the old school gangsters do still live by that ‘no family’ code because there’s no attachments. If you have anything of worth, your enemies can hold that against you, so it’s a very freeing role. You get to explore a lot.”

 

Catch the action-packed drama Gangs of London, available exclusively on Lionsgate Play starting 28th July.

The award ceremony is scheduled for August 29, preceding Metrobank's anniversary celebration in September

Outstanding Filipinos embody the true meaning of “Beyond Excellence” as they go the extra mile in their chosen profession and selflessly extend a helping hand to those in need through their various service and community involvements while overcoming adversities and challenges. Bagging the 2023 Metrobank Foundation Outstanding Filipino Award for Teachers are (1) Mr. Rex M.

Sabaldica, Chief, Morale and Welfare Division, Directorate for Personnel and Records Management, Camp Crame (Quezon City) (formerly Provincial Director of Cagayan Police Provincial Office in Tuguegarao City).

Outstanding Filipinos inspire us to go beyond excellence and pursue a mission that is bigger than ourselves. This year’s batch proved to us how the competence of Filipinos combined with character and compassion can positively impact other people’s lives,” said Metrobank Foundation president Aniceto M. Sobrepeña.“As educators, peacekeepers, and defenders, they have chosen to render selfless service to the community and the country even despite many adversities. We hope that their examples and their contributions to the society create a ripple effect that transcends generations,” he added. 

The awardees underwent a guided selection process and were selected from hundreds of nominations. A multi-sectoral Board of Assessors, composed of members from the government, academe, military, and non-government sectors, shortlisted the semi-finalists through a review of documents. The semi-finalists for the three sectors were then interviewed, including requiring live teaching demonstrations for the semi-finalist teachers, at GT Tower International in Makati City to determine the finalists.
