The payment platform Maya has launched a rebate program to incentivize remittance transactions from the Middle East, benefiting overseas Filipino workers sending money home.
Maya, a prominent financial technology platform, has initiated a rebate scheme targeted at Filipino overseas workers sending remittances from the Middle East. This program aims to reduce transaction costs for Filipinos working abroad, encouraging more affordable money transfers to families back home. According to official statements from Maya, the rebate offer applies to various remittance corridors originating from several Middle Eastern countries known for hosting large Filipino communities. While specific rebate rates and participating countries have not been detailed publicly, the initiative reflects ongoing efforts to support the financial welfare of overseas Filipino workers (OFWs). This move is particularly significant given the substantial contribution of Middle Eastern OFWs to the Philippines’ remittance inflows, a vital source of foreign exchange and family income. The program’s introduction was reported by Unbox PH, a local tech and finance news outlet, but official announcements from Maya provide the authoritative confirmation of this incentive scheme. Filipino workers in the Middle East are encouraged to consult Maya’s official channels or authorized remittance partners to avail themselves of these new rebates and understand applicable terms and conditions. The impact of such rebates is expected to ease financial burdens for OFWs amid global economic uncertainties, reinforcing the government’s and private sector’s commitment to supporting migrant workers.
