Bank of Maldives
Bank of Maldives is the only local bank in Republic of Maldives. There are other banks like State bank of India, Habib Bank, HSBC bank, etc in Maldives, but they do not have more than one branch. I am not sure if there is any restriction to open more than one branch for foreign banks in Maldives. Bank of Maldives has many branches in Male’ the capital of Maldives as well as in remote islands. The bank is fully computerized and provide almost all the banking services needed for the citizens and business establishments in Maldives.
History of Bank of Maldives
Bank of Maldives, shortly called BML commenced its operation on 11th November, 1982 and was inaugurated by the President of Maldives. The bank was started as a joint venture between the Government of Maldives and IFCI bank Dhaka. Now IFCI no longer has any shares of Bank of Maldives, but its now a public limited company with a capital of 36.5 million Maldivian Rufeeya. The bank became public in the year 1993 and still its the same.
