Bank of Maldives has launched its ATM service in Hulhudhuffaaru, Raa Atoll. The ATM service in Hulhudhuffaaru was inaugurated by the Minister of State for Cities and Administrative Areas and Public Works, Adam Shareef Umar, at a ceremony held on the island for this purpose. The ceremony was attended by BML’s CEO Mohamed Shareef, senior bank officials, members of the island council, and members representing the atoll. To mark the launch of the Hulhudhuffaaru ATM service, Minister Adam Shareef withdrew cash from the ATM and then handed over a symbolic ATM card to the island council. The card was received on behalf of the island council by the council president.
The ATM installed in Hulhudhuffaaru is a self-service ATM that provides 24-hour cash withdrawal and deposit services. As part of Bank of Maldives’ efforts to introduce ATM services in the islands of Raa Atoll, ATM services will be launched in 9 islands during this phase. With this, ATMs will be installed in all inhabited islands of the atoll. Additionally, work will begin on establishing a BML branch in Alifushi.
As part of the project jointly undertaken by Bank of Maldives and the government to provide ATM services in all inhabited islands of the Maldives, this service has been launched in 15 atolls so far.
