Bank of Maldives (BML) has officially launched its Chartered Banker Programme, enrolling the first batch of 30 employees as part of efforts to strengthen professional expertise within the bank and the wider Maldivian financial sector.
The initiative follows a Memorandum of Understanding signed between BML and the Asian Institute of Chartered Bankers (AICB) in January this year to support the development of banking professionals through internationally recognized qualifications and training programmes.
According to the bank, the first cohort of employees is expected to complete the qualification within two years.
BML CEO and Managing Director Mohamed Shareef said the programme reflects the bank’s continued investment in employee growth and leadership development.
“At Bank of Maldives, we believe our people are our greatest asset,” Shareef said. “Continuous professional development plays a vital role in strengthening our institution and building future leaders.”
He added that the exposure and knowledge gained through the programme would contribute not only to the personal development of employees but also to the bank’s long-term progress and service quality.
The Chartered Banker Programme is being delivered through BML Academy, the bank’s internal platform focused on structured employee training and professional development.
Officials said the programme forms part of the bank’s broader efforts to strengthen internal capabilities, support ongoing institutional transformation, and enhance banking services provided across the Maldives.
