Maya and Visa have teamed up to celebrate Filipino athletes and the upcoming 2024 Olympic Games in Paris. They’ve unveiled a one-of-a-kind, limited-edition Paris 2024-themed Visa Card, allowing Filipinos to showcase national pride with every transaction.

This collaboration follows the success of the sold-out Maya FIFA Women’s World CupTM Visa Card. Maya, known for its dedication to empowering Filipino athletes, takes another significant step in supporting the nation’s sporting heroes with the Paris 2024 card.

The card’s design, a collaboration with renowned Filipino comic book artist Leinil Francis Yu (famous for his work with Marvel titles like X-Men, Avengers, and Spider-Man), embodies the spirit of Filipino athletes. This Maya-Visa card features EJ Obiena, the esteemed pole vaulter competing in Paris 2024. Yu’s artwork captures the essence of the Olympics, igniting a sense of pride and aspiration in every cardholder.

“Our collaboration with Visa for the Paris 2024 Olympics-themed Card is a testament to our commitment to global convenience and local pride. EJ Obiena, our Olympic hero, is perfectly represented through Leinil Yu’s spectacular art, making this card a must-have for every proud Filipino,” according to Pepe Torres, Maya’s Chief Marketing Officer.

This Visa Card transcends borders, allowing Filipinos to express their national pride anywhere globally. Accepted by over 130 million merchants and usable at over 1 million ATMs worldwide, the card seamlessly integrates into your travel plans. It empowers you to celebrate the Filipino spirit wherever you may be. Adding a personal touch, Maya allows users to customize the card with their @username for free. This lets them express their unique identity while carrying a piece of the Olympic dream.

Owning this card offers more than just a stylish design. Each transaction earns you interest up to 14% p.a. In addition, it enters you into a raffle for a chance to win an all-expense trip for two to witness the Olympic Games live in Paris! This exciting opportunity comes at an affordable price of only PHP250 through the Maya app, making it accessible to anyone who wants to support Filipino athletes and showcase their national pride.

“Visa is deeply honored to support Filipino athletes, and we are thrilled to unveil this limited-edition card in collaboration with Maya, whose card has rapidly become the Philippines’ fastest-growing prepaid card. With the Paris 2024-themed Card, we celebrate the achievements of our athletes, and we hope Filipinos will embrace this opportunity to showcase their pride and passion for sports while enjoying its convenience and benefits,” said Jeff Navarro, Visa Country Manager for the Philippines.
