4 brands join hands to empower MSMEs this holiday season

Noel Bazaar, which has become the metro's traditional Christmas shopping destination for its wide array of unique gift finds, delectable food and vibrant entertainment, has partnered with Maya, Smart and PLDT to offer an exciting and convenient shopping experience for Filipinos and business owners alike.

 The collaboration among the four brands aims to empower local businesses by providing cashless convenience to consumers, thus extending help to micro, small and medium-sized enterprises during the most festive and hectic time of the year.

Through this collaboration, merchants participating in the holiday bazaar can avail themselves of Maya Business' 1-2-3 Grow Bundle, which allows them to accept payments effortlessly online or in-store; speed up the growth of their earnings with Maya Business Deposit's 2.5-percent interest per annum; and make use of Maya Flexi Loan with zero collateral.

This arrangement not only improves the shopping experience for customers but also helps businesses expand their customer base.

With a 48-day run this holiday season, the Noel Bazaar series will take place 10 November to 17 December at Okada Manila, with a new roster of merchants every week; 24-30 November at the World Trade Center Metro Manila; and 8-10 December at Filinvest Tent Alabang.

 Through its digital banking and payment solutions, Maya Business promotes financial inclusion among MSMEs, providing them access to tools for efficient financial management and easy reconciliation of transactions. 

The Noel Bazaar, Maya, Smart and PLDT partnership is a win-win for both shoppers and MSMEs, simplifying the shopping experience while giving small businesses a much-needed boost.
