President Dr. Mohamed Muizzu has inaugurated the ATM service established in Hithadhoo, South Maalhosmadulu Atoll. This is the 44th island where an ATM has been installed this year under the project to establish ATM services on all inhabited islands in the Maldives. Providing ATM services on all inhabited islands is a pledge of President Dr. Mohamed Muizzu. In line with this pledge, the Bank of Maldives (BML) is working on establishing ATM services on 100 new islands this year.
As part of his ongoing trip to South Maalhosmadulu Atoll, the President inaugurated the ATM service in Hithadhoo today. After launching the service, the President withdrew money from the ATM. Following the inauguration of the ATM service, a commemorative bank card was presented to the island council. Abdul Aziz Mohamed, the President of the Hithadhoo Council, received the card on behalf of the council.
BML states that the self-service ATM installed in Hithadhoo will provide 24-hour cash withdrawal and deposit services for individuals and businesses, in addition to bill payment and transfer services. The bank also mentioned that credit card and loan payment services will be available.
Under the project jointly carried out by the government and BML to establish ATM services on all inhabited islands in the Maldives, ATM services have been launched on all inhabited islands in six atolls so far. These include Ha. Atoll, Sh. Atoll, Dh. Atoll, N. Atoll, M. Atoll, and K. Atoll. With the addition of the ATM in Hithadhoo, BML states that there will be more than 250 ATMs in the BML banking network across the Maldives.
BML emphasized that the government and the bank have initiated this project to establish ATM services on islands with special importance to provide various banking services to the people as conveniently and easily as possible.
