The Maldives Monetary Authority (MMA) has granted Ooredoo
Fintech Maldives an inward remittance license, allowing users to receive
international funds directly into their m-Faisaa digital wallets. The licensing
ceremony was held at MMA headquarters, where Governor Ahmed Munawwar handed
over the license to Ooredoo officials including Fatima Al Kuwari and CEO Khalid
Al-Hamadi.
This new capability removes intermediaries for cross-border
transfers, enabling faster and more secure transactions for freelancers, small
businesses, and families. Ooredoo says this move aligns with a push toward a
cash-lite, digitally driven economy.
Khalid Al-Hamadi said the license bolsters m-Faisaa’s
services—which already include bill payments, merchant QR transactions, and
domestic transfers—and supports the company’s vision of digital inclusion and
financial empowerment in the Maldives and beyond.
