Bank of Maldives Launches Chartered Banker Programme in Partnership with AICB

Bank of Maldives (BML) has officially commenced its Chartered Banker Programme, aimed at strengthening the Bank’s pool of certified banking professionals and enhancing expertise within the Maldives’ financial sector.

The initiative follows the signing of a Memorandum of Understanding (MoU) with the Asian Institute of Chartered Bankers (AICB) in January 2026. The partnership focuses on supporting the professional development of banking personnel in the Maldives through internationally recognised Chartered Banking qualifications and development programmes.

As part of the first cohort, 30 BML employees have enrolled in the programme and are expected to complete the qualification within two years.

Speaking about the initiative, BML CEO and Managing Director Mohamed Shareef said the Bank remains committed to investing in its employees and nurturing future leaders.

“At Bank of Maldives, we believe our people are our greatest asset. Continuous professional development plays a vital role in strengthening our institution and building future leaders. I am confident that the knowledge and exposure gained through this programme will contribute meaningfully to the personal growth of our employees and support the Bank’s continued progress,” he said.

The Chartered Banker Programme will be delivered through BML Academy, the Bank’s dedicated platform for structured employee development.

According to the Bank, the programme reflects its continued investment in developing internal capabilities, supporting institution-wide transformation, and enhancing the delivery of banking services across the Maldives.
