Bank of Maldives (BML) has announced the expansion of its ATM services to all inhabited islands of Thaa Atoll, beginning with the inauguration of a new ATM in Burunee today. The initiative is part of the bank’s wider effort to improve access to financial services across the country.
At a ceremony held
in Burunee to mark the launch, BML Chairman Ahmed Ali Habib, Chief Executive
Officer and Managing Director Mohammed Shareef, along with senior officials of
the bank, were in attendance. Speaking at the event, CEO Shareef said the investment
reflects BML’s commitment to enhancing accessibility for customers in atolls
outside Malé.
“Our investment in
Burunee demonstrates our commitment to providing accessible banking services to
the islands of Maldives. With the introduction of modern ATMs, individuals and
businesses will be able to access banking services easily and anytime,” he said.
BML confirmed that
by the end of this week, ATM services will be installed in eight additional
islands across Thaa Atoll, completing full coverage for the atoll.
With a growing
nationwide presence, BML currently operates 42 branches across 20 atolls, 171
self-service banking centres, 229 ATMs, and offers state-of-the-art online
