Maya has partnered with Dragonpass to redefine travel convenience through the country’s first in-app global lounge access experience—giving Maya Black Credit Card holders an effortless way to enjoy premium airport lounges right from the Maya app.
With just a few taps on the Lounge Access tile in their Maya app, cardholders can generate a QR code and enter participating lounges worldwide—no separate registration, no extra apps, no hassle. Whether to unwind before a flight or recharge between trips, Maya and Dragonpass make it seamless and stress-free.
“Maya Black reflects our goal to make premium experiences truly accessible,” said Shailesh Baidwan, President of Maya Group and Co-Founder of Maya Bank.
“Through Dragonpass, our customers can now enjoy global lounge access directly from the app they already use for their everyday banking—proof that financial innovation can be both practical and delightful.”
“This initiative with Maya represents the future of travel convenience,” said Emre Dilmen, Chief Commercial Officer of Dragonpass. “By integrating lounge access directly within the Maya app, we’re merging world-class travel experiences with everyday digital banking. Together, we’re making premium travel effortless for more Filipinos—right from the app they already trust.”
Through its collaboration with Dragonpass, Maya becomes the first fintech platform in the Philippines to embed global lounge access within its app via API (application programming interface). This signifies another step in Maya’s mission to democratize premium banking—bringing travel, rewards, and financial empowerment together in one experience.
Each Maya Black cardholder enjoys one complimentary lounge pass per quarter, valid at participating airports in the Philippines and worldwide. This feature joins Maya Black’s growing suite of lifestyle perks that blend smart security, personalized control, and premium rewards—from numberless card design and instant spend management to AI-driven fraud protection and high-value Maya Miles.
By turning complex travel privileges into a simple in-app experience, Maya underscores how innovation can create moments of everyday delight—making banking not just smarter, but more human.
The introduction of Maya Black in the market is also part of a bigger story: making premium credit experiences more accessible to Filipinos. For many, credit cards remain difficult to obtain—56% of adults found it challenging to get one in 2021, according to the Bangko Sentral ng Pilipinas, and only 15% held a credit card as of 2023, based on TransUnion data. Maya is changing that through digital-first credit access paired with meaningful lifestyle rewards—turning what used to be elite privileges into experiences anyone can enjoy, right from their phone.
