Bank of Maldives has begun its Chartered Banker Programme, enrolling 30 employees in the first cohort as part of a wider effort to strengthen professional capacity within the country’s banking sector.
The programme follows a Memorandum of Understanding signed in January 2026 between Bank of Maldives and the Asian Institute of Chartered Bankers. The agreement is aimed at supporting the development of banking professionals in the Maldives through Chartered Banker qualifications and professional development programmes.
The first group of 30 Bank of Maldives employees is expected to complete the qualification within two years. The programme is being delivered through BML Academy, the bank’s platform for structured employee development.
Bank of Maldives CEO and Managing Director Mohamed Shareef said continuous professional development plays an important role in strengthening the institution and developing future leaders. He said the knowledge and exposure gained through the programme would support both the personal growth of employees and the bank’s continued progress.
The initiative forms part of BML’s broader investment in internal capability building, as the bank continues work on institution-wide transformation and service improvement across the Maldives.
