A report from Google News features two Filipino sari-sari store owners who turned to Maya Business to grow beyond traditional cash transactions. The owners, operating in different areas, adopted Maya's digital payment solutions and business tools to manage inventory, accept cashless payments, and access working capital, ultimately increasing sales and customer reach.
One owner highlighted how Maya's QR payment system attracted younger customers who preferred cashless methods, while another used Maya's loan features to stock up on popular items during peak seasons. Both credited the platform for simplifying record-keeping and reducing the risks of handling large amounts of cash, allowing them to focus more on expanding their product offerings.
The stories reflect a broader trend among micro-retailers in the Philippines, where sari-sari stores form a vital part of local commerce. Maya Business, a fintech arm of Globe Group, aims to empower these entrepreneurs by providing accessible digital tools, bridging the gap between traditional retail and the digital economy.
