The nature-inspired drop arrives as Maya completes its transition, with all newly produced prepaid cards now made from 100% recycled plastic.
A playful take on bukadkad, the Filipino word that describes a flower in bloom, Bukad takes inspiration from the richness of Philippine nature. Filipino visual artist and illustrator Raxenne Maniquiz brings this to life through her signature colorful illustrations, filling the card with flowers, foliage, wildlife, and little details to discover every time you look.
That connection to nature goes beyond the design. The Maya Bukad Card uses 100% recycled plastic, giving equal thought to both its distinctive look and the materials behind its design.
And the Bukad Card isn’t the only Maya card getting a material rethink. Maya has now fully implemented its transition, with all newly produced wallet cards made from 100% recycled plastic. It’s a move away from virgin plastic and toward giving existing materials another life, without changing the security, durability and functionality people expect from their Maya cards.
The Maya Bukad Card combines style with everyday functionality. Powered by Visa, the Maya Bukad Card makes everyday spending and cash withdrawals easy wherever Visa is accepted worldwide. And when you spend locally in the Philippines, you get 1% cashback on all in-store and online purchases.
From Card to Scarf
And if you’re tempted to wear it, you can. For a limited time, the design goes beyond your wallet, too. Raxenne’s nature-inspired illustrations also make their way onto the limited-edition Bukad scarf, bringing the colors and details of the Maya Bukad Card into something you can wear and style your own way.
The limited-edition Bukad scarf will be available exclusively at PURVEYR Fair on September 12–13 at the World Trade Center Tent. Fairgoers who purchase the Maya Bukad Card for PHP 350 can also take home a Bukad scarf for free.
Can’t make it to PURVEYR Fair? The special-edition Maya Bukad Card will also be available starting September 9 on the Maya app. To order yours, simply open the Maya app, head to the Cards tab, and order the Maya Bukad Card.
Moreover, the Maya Bukad Card draws inspiration from Philippine nature and uses 100% recycled plastic, combining Filipino creativity with more conscious design in a card you can carry and use every day.
