Gaafu Alif Atoll Becomes 10th Atoll with ATM Services on All Inhabited Islands

Bank of Maldives (BML) has announced the launch of new Self-Service Banking ATM centres in Kondey and Kanduhulhudhoo, making Gaafu Alif Atoll the 10th atoll in the country where every inhabited island has access to ATM services.

The inauguration ceremony, held today, was attended by Minister of Construction, Housing and Infrastructure Dr. Abdulla Muththalib, BML Chairperson Ahmed Ali Habeeb, CEO and Managing Director Mohamed Shareef, along with senior officials of the bank.

The new ATM centres will provide round-the-clock access to essential banking services such as cash withdrawals, deposits, and transfers for both individuals and businesses. BML said this expansion is part of its nationwide initiative “Mulhi Raajje ah BML ATM,” designed to ensure reliable and convenient banking services are available in all local communities.

Speaking at the ceremony, BML CEO and Managing Director Mohamed Shareef said the investment underlines the bank’s strong commitment to financial inclusion. “Our investment in these new ATM centers reflects our unwavering commitment to bringing banking closer to our customers. The people of Gaafu Alifu Atoll will no longer have to travel to another island for their banking,” he stated.

As the country’s largest financial institution, BML currently operates 42 branches across all 20 atolls, 158 Self-Service Banking Centres, 217 ATMs, in addition to agent banking services and digital banking solutions.
