Speaking at the inauguration ceremony of a new ATM in ADh. Maamigili, BML’s Head of Brand and Marketing Strategy, Mohamed Saeed, revealed that the bank has successfully installed ATMs in 95 islands over the past eight months. He noted that only 10 islands remain without ATMs, and installations in these locations are expected to be completed within the next 20 days.

With this expansion, BML has completed ATM installations in all inhabited islands across 17 atolls. The remaining work will focus on Lhaviyani and Laamu atolls, as well as Addu City, after which every inhabited island in the country will have access to banking services through BML’s ATM network.

The installation of ATMs in the Maldives began in 2000, and over the past 24 years—excluding Malé—BML has installed ATMs in 81 inhabited islands. Yesterday’s installation in Maamigili marked a significant milestone as the bank’s 250th ATM nationwide.

BML’s ongoing expansion is part of its commitment to improving banking accessibility and convenience for all Maldivians, especially those living in outer islands where physical banking facilities are limited.
