Maya Bukad Card brings Filipino art and biodiversity into digital banking through a limited-edition Visa Prepaid Debit Card designed in collaboration with Filipino artist Raxenne Maniquiz.
The new card features a botanical-inspired design celebrating the Philippines’ natural beauty and biodiversity, giving Maya customers another way to personalize an everyday financial product.
Beyond its visual design, the card also incorporates sustainability.
The Bukad Card is made from 100% recycled plastic, reflecting Maya’s efforts to bring more environmentally conscious elements into its banking products. Powered by Visa, it can also be used for purchases and ATM withdrawals wherever Visa is accepted worldwide.
A bank card inspired by Philippine biodiversity
The Bukad Card takes a different approach to the traditional bank card by making local art and culture part of the customer experience.
Maniquiz, known for her work inspired by nature, created the botanical design to highlight the richness of the Philippine environment. The collaboration places local creativity at the center of a financial product that customers can use for everyday purchases.
For Maya, the launch also adds a more personal dimension to digital banking.
As financial services become increasingly digital, physical cards remain an important part of how customers interact with their money. Offering limited-edition designs gives customers an opportunity to express their interests and personality through a product they carry and use regularly.
The Bukad Card therefore sits at the intersection of banking, design and Filipino identity, turning a functional payment card into a small piece of local art.
Sustainability becomes part of the card
The card is printed on 100% recycled plastic, adding an environmental element to the collaboration.
Using recycled materials can reduce the reliance on newly produced plastic in manufacturing physical payment cards, while also giving sustainability a more visible place in the customer’s everyday banking experience.
The move comes as consumers increasingly pay attention to how the products and services they use are designed and produced.
For financial institutions, sustainability is no longer limited to large corporate initiatives. It can also be reflected in smaller customer-facing products, from physical cards to packaging and other materials.
Maya’s use of recycled plastic for the Bukad Card shows how these considerations can be incorporated into a product without removing its practical purpose.
Bukad Card available for pre-order
The limited-edition Bukad Card is available for pre-order for ₱350.
Customers can expect delivery within 12 working days for addresses in Metro Manila, while deliveries to other locations are expected to take between 15 and 20 working days.
The limited-edition release gives Maya customers another option beyond standard card designs while highlighting a distinctly Filipino visual identity.
It also reflects a broader trend in digital banking, where financial products are increasingly designed around more than transactions. Personalization, local culture and sustainability can become part of how customers experience a financial brand.
Where banking meets Filipino creativity
Maya’s Bukad Card demonstrates how a payment card can become more than a tool for spending. Through its collaboration with Raxenne Maniquiz, the company is using a familiar banking product to showcase Philippine biodiversity and local artistic talent.
At the same time, the use of recycled plastic connects the design to a wider conversation around more responsible consumption.
As digital banks compete not only on features but also on customer experience, products like the Bukad Card show how art, identity and sustainability can become part of the way Filipinos interact with their money.
