As part of this initiative, Maya’s digital payment solutions will be integrated into the HELPS portal, enabling secure and seamless online payments for registration, accreditation, and online donations (public solicitation). Foundations and social welfare and development agencies (SWDAs) that register with DSWD will be automatically listed in the Kaagapay Donations Portal, making it easier for them to connect with donors.

“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 is part of the government’s broader efforts to modernize financial transactions, streamlining processes and improving ease of doing business. Maya has long supported digitization in government, working with agencies to expand digital disbursement programs and integrate cashless solutions into public services.

Through this partnership, Maya strengthens its commitment to making financial transactions easier and more accessible—whether for businesses, individuals, or causes that matter.
