Manila, Philippines – July 2022. Founded in 2014 as a financial comparison portal with only 10 employees and 65,000 monthly visits, Moneymax has grown into the Philippines’ largest personal finance platform powered by over 100 employees and visited over 3 million times per month.
Such tremendous growth has been fueled by the company's mission to help Filipinos lead healthy and rewarding financial lives through free, fair, and fast access to financial products and information.
Marking its eighth anniversary with the theme #ElevateAt8, Moneymax celebrates all the ways it has leveled up as an organization and has helped improve the financial well-being of over 40 million Filipinos.
"As we reach another milestone year for Moneymax, we're excited for more years of helping Filipinos make smarter financial choices through our platform, rewards, and content. Putting the Filipino people at the heart of everything we do, we're looking forward to continuously improving and exploring even more ways to uplift their financial lives," shares Jessica Faye Tan, Head of Marketing at Moneymax.
Elevated as a Company
2022 is a big year for Moneymax, hitting an all-time high 3+ million monthly website traffic with nearly 300% growth from the previous year. The company’s newsletter subscribers have also increased to 1 million. This means that more Filipinos are taking their finances to greater heights with the help of Moneymax’s educational content and financial products.
This is amid the consumer behavior shift to “revenge spending” as the economy rebounds from the COVID-19 pandemic. Filipinos planned to increase their spending on retail shopping, discretionary expenses, retirement funds, and large purchases, based on data from the Consumer Pulse Study 2022.[1]
Other notable milestones include Moneymax’s Great Place to Work® certification[2] for promoting positive company culture and a Bronze Award for Excellence in Content Marketing for helping Filipinos build financial wellness during the pandemic.
Moneymax also made it to BestStartup.Asia’s top Southeast Asian startups and companies[3] for exceptional performance in innovation, growth, management, or societal impact.
