The Bank of Maldives (BML) has reported significant growth in its ATM network this year, with automated teller machines now installed on 82 islands nationwide. As of yesterday, these ATMs have processed a total of 122,000 transactions, amounting to MVR 313 million.
Of this total,
deposits alone reached MVR 145 million, reflecting increased usage of
self-service banking across the country. The bank’s data also highlights strong
daily engagement, with the Malé City ATM network handling an average of 14,000
transactions per day, amounting to MVR 78 million. Meanwhile, ATMs in the
atolls facilitate around 9,000 transactions daily, totaling MVR 25 million.
BML’s expansion
of ATM services into the atolls is part of the bank’s broader commitment to
enhancing financial inclusion and providing convenient access to banking
services for residents outside the capital. With a steadily increasing number
of transactions, the ATM network has become an essential tool for both deposits
and withdrawals, helping to streamline everyday financial activities for
communities across the Maldives.
As the bank
continues to expand its self-service infrastructure, the enhanced accessibility
is expected to further drive the use of digital and automated banking,
supporting both local economic activity and the financial well-being of island
residents.
