- Ayala Corporation is a diversified Philippine conglomerate founded in 1834 and headquartered in Makati City, Philippines. It operates primarily through subsidiaries and affiliates in key sectors including real estate development and operations via Ayala Land, banking and financial services through the Bank of the Philippine Islands and Ayala Capital, telecommunications and digital services through Globe Telecom and its fintech subsidiary Mynt, renewable energy and utilities under AC Energy and Infrastructure, automotive distribution, healthcare services, logistics via AC Logistics, and manufacturing including electronics through Integrated Micro-Electronics. The company serves a broad market across the Philippines and has expanded regional operations notably into Southeast Asia.
Recent major developments include Ayala's strategic partnership and joint venture with Thailand's CP Axtra to revive the Makro warehouse club brand in the Philippines, targeting both consumer and small business segments with a modern retail format. Ayala also completed the partial sale of a 50% stake in its AC Ventures Holding (which holds its fintech arm Mynt, operator of GCash) to Japan's Mitsubishi Corporation, strengthening its partnership and enabling further investment and business development in fintech, renewable energy, mobility, and healthcare. Additionally, Ayala has entered into a joint venture with A.P. Moller Capital to grow AC Logistics into a leading integrated logistics provider in the Philippines. In 2025, Ayala also exited its Honda dealership business in the Philippines as part of portfolio optimization and continues to expand its retail presence with new collaborations such as a partnership with Spinneys to bring international retail brands to the Philippines.
These moves reflect Ayala's ongoing strategy of diversification, digital transformation, regional expansion, and collaboration with global partners to enhance its product and service offerings across real estate, financial technology, energy, mobility, healthcare, and logistics, reinforcing its prominence as the Philippines' oldest and largest conglomerate with a heritage of continuous growth and innovation.
