Maya Business
Maya cut its InstaPay transfer fee to other banks from P15 to P10, effective 2026-07-06. The change was announced 2026-07-04. Maya-to-Maya transfers and PESONet transfers stay free, unchanged.
This isn't Maya moving on its own. The Bangko Sentral ng Pilipinas ended a five-year moratorium on InstaPay and PESONet fees under Memorandum M-2026-025, issued 2026-06-17. Maya's cut is a response to that policy shift, not an independent pricing decision, and multiple Philippine banks and e-wallets adjusted transfer fees in the same window.
For a merchant on Maya Business collecting customer payments and moving funds out to a settlement bank via InstaPay, the per-transfer cost just dropped by a third. No change was found to Maya Business account fees, onboarding costs, or transaction rates on accepted payments in this window.

AutoCount
AutoCount Accounting shipped version 2.2.22.30 on 2026-07-10. The release adds the ability to import supplier e-invoices directly from the MyInvois Portal and reconcile them against AutoCount records, plus a mechanism to edit already-validated e-invoices within a 72-hour window after LHDN validation.
This follows the earlier e-Invoice Reconciliation feature for sales invoices, which auto-matches AutoCount records against MyInvois Portal submissions on document number, customer, and amount, and flags anything rejected or missing from MyInvois. Together the two features cover reconciliation on both the sales and purchase side of e-invoicing.
The release lands inside Malaysia's phased e-Invoice rollout: Phase 5, covering businesses with annual revenue up to RM1 million, started 2026-07-01. Since 2026-01-01, any single sale exceeding RM10,000 requires its own individual e-invoice; consolidation is no longer allowed above that threshold. No pricing change was found for AutoCount licenses or subscriptions in this window.

Xendit
Xendit integrated Dragonpay, the Philippines' alternative payments platform, into its network on 2026-07-08. The move builds on a partnership the two companies started in 2021. Dragonpay's roughly 905 merchants now get access to more than 100 payment methods, payout services, financing options, and cross-border payment capabilities through Xendit's infrastructure.
The integration is part of a broader regional build-out: Xendit acquired Malaysia-based Payex in 2025 and expanded into Thailand in 2024. Dragonpay joining the network extends that footprint into a fourth Philippine payment channel under Xendit's umbrella.
This is separate from the Xendit Processing Fee changes reported here on 2026-08-05, which take effect 2026-09-01 for Xendit Philippines Inc. accounts and 2026-10-01 elsewhere. The Dragonpay integration does not change that fee schedule; a Dragonpay-routed transaction still falls under Xendit's standard per-method pricing once the new fee schedule takes effect.

Coverage note
One fee cut, one accounting-software release, one payments-network integration. Maya's InstaPay reduction is regulator-driven, not a competitive move. AutoCount's release fills a specific compliance gap, purchase-side e-invoice reconciliation, ahead of Malaysia's Phase 5 e-Invoice deadline. Xendit's Dragonpay integration adds merchant reach in the Philippines without altering the processing-fee schedule already announced for September and October 2026.
