Bank of Maldives (BML) has officially launched self-service ATM banking services in Kalaidhoo island of Laamu atoll, marking the completion of ATM coverage across all inhabited islands in Laamu atoll.

A ceremony held on the island to inaugurate the new service was attended by President Dr. Mohamed Muizzu, cabinet ministers, BML Chairperson Ahmed Ali Habeeb, CEO and Managing Director Mohamed Shareef, along with other senior bank officials.

With the addition of Kalaidhoo, BML has now brought ATM services to every inhabited island in 19 atolls under its "Mulhi Raajje ah BML ATM" initiative.
