This work addresses the steady three-dimensional boundary layer flow of Maxwell fluid over a bidirectional stretching surface with homogeneous-heterogeneous reactions. A system of ordinary differential equations is obtained by using suitable transformations. Convergent series solutions are derived by homotopic procedure. Impact of various pertinent parameters on the velocity and concentration is discussed. It is noted that an increase in the Deborah number decreases both the velocity components. Also concentration distribution decreases for larger values of strength of homogeneous reaction parameter while it increases for strength of heterogeneous reaction parameter
