BML Expands ATM Services to Four More Islands in Haa Dhaalu Atoll

Bank of Maldives (BML) has further strengthened its presence in Haa Dhaalu Atoll with the launch of new self-service ATMs in four additional islands, under its nationwide “Mulhi Raajje ah BML ATM” initiative.

The new ATMs were officially introduced in Hanimaadhoo, Naivaadhoo, Nellaidhoo, and Nolhivaram. The services were inaugurated during ceremonies attended by President Dr. Mohamed Muizzu, Cabinet Ministers, BML Chairperson Ahmed Ali Habeeb, CEO and Managing Director Mohamed Shareef, along with senior officials of the Bank.

Speaking at the event, BML CEO and MD Mohamed Shareef highlighted the importance of accessible banking services across the country. “ATMs play a crucial role in bringing customers into the formal banking system, so it’s a proud moment not just for the Bank, but for the communities of these islands, as we continue to bring banking closer to customers and enable easier access to financial services wherever they live,” he said.

The expansion is part of BML’s wider efforts to enhance financial inclusion and convenience for island communities. Currently, the Bank operates 41 branches across all 20 atolls, 150 Self-Service Banking Centres, 208 ATMs, and offers a range of advanced digital banking solutions.

Hanimaadhoo, one of the key islands included in the expansion, already houses a dedicated Self-Service Banking ATM at Hanimaadhoo International Airport. The addition of a new ATM in the island’s community further increases access to banking facilities for residents and travelers alike.

As the country’s largest financial institution, BML continues to play a central role in expanding access to modern banking services across the Maldives.
