Maya, a digital finance platform, said Sunday that it has fully complied with the Bangko Sentral ng Pilipinas’ (BSP) directive to remove in-app gambling access links from its payment app.
Links to gaming sites and apps through the games feature of the Maya app were disabled Saturday, Aug. 16, at 8 p.m., it said.
“We fully support the BSP’s efforts and will continue to work closely with them in promoting the responsible use of digital financial services,” the company said in a statement.
Maya advised customers to withdraw any remaining funds from their linked gaming accounts back to their respective Maya wallets before the directive took effect.
The company earlier said customers may still withdraw their funds directly through the gaming provider’s website or app after the deadline.
“We will always safeguard our customers and ensure uninterrupted availability of all our financial services,” Maya said in an earlier statement.
“Maya will continue working closely with regulators and industry partners to uphold the highest standards of consumer protection and full compliance with all regulations, it said.
