The judging panel’s full report:

Bank of Maldives: Most Innovative Banking Team Indian Ocean 2016

Boasting an exceptionally strong capital position well in excess of regulatory requirements, Bank of Maldives has established a solid reputation both at home and abroad. The bank has been in business since 1982 and is listed on the Maldives Stock Exchange (MSE:BML). Following the divestment of founder partner IFIC Bank of Bangladesh in 1992, the country’s government assumed a majority shareholding.

Since its founding, Bank of Maldives has driven the nation’s financial services industry with innovation and technology. The bank accumulated an impressive number of firsts such as the introduction of point of sale terminals, Internet and mobile banking, and cash and cheques deposit machines. Bank of Maldives maintains a state-of-the-art technology platform that allows the institution to offer its around 265,000 clients both convenience and excellence in the delivery of financial services.

Reaching into the far corners of the vast archipelago nation, Bank of Maldives operates a robust and fully interconnected network of branches, agents, and point of sales services that blankets the country. Bank of Maldives is the country’s largest employer in the financial sector and counts with over 850 professionals and support staff of whom one third are based outside the capital Malé.

A client-centric business, Bank of Maldives aims to exceed customers’ expectations. Since its corporate inception, Bank of Maldives has strived to reach out to clients via a multichannel approach: account holders, and others conducting business with or at the bank, may do so in a number of convenient ways that complement, rather than detract from, their daily pursuits.

The CFI.co judging panel commends Bank of Maldives on its accomplishment of a most challenging mission: to provide world class financial services in a country comprised of 1,192 coral islands in twin chains of atolls dispersed over some 90,000km2 of ocean. Building a financial network that covers this unique geographic setting is a remarkable feat; doing so with aplomb and efficiency merits recognition. The judges are therefore pleased to offer Bank of Maldives the 2016 Most Innovative Banking Team Indian Ocean Award.
