Bank of Maldives (BML) has launched self-service banking ATM services in Haa Dhaalu Finey today, announcing plans to expand the service to every inhabited island in the atoll within the week. The expansion comes under the Bank’s “Mulhi Raajje ah BML ATM” initiative, aimed at increasing nationwide access to modern banking facilities.

The inauguration in Finey was attended by President Dr. Mohamed Muizzu, several ministers, BML Chairperson Ahmed Ali Habeeb, CEO and Managing Director Mohamed Shareef, and senior bank officials.

Speaking at the event, CEO Shareef said the initiative underscores BML’s commitment to financial inclusion across the Maldives. “Our investment to expand our ATM network in Finey and the wider atoll reflects our commitment to bringing banking closer to our communities. Residents and visitors alike will now have access to state-of-the-art ATM machines for self-service banking 24/7 without the need to travel to another island,” he noted.

The Bank confirmed that new ATMs will be rolled out across ten more islands in Haa Dhaalu Atoll this week, making it the first atoll in the country where every inhabited island will have its own ATM service.

As the Maldives’ largest financial institution, BML currently operates 41 branches across all 20 atolls, along with 146 self-service banking centres, 204 ATMs, and extensive digital banking solutions.
