BML begins Chartered Banker Programme with first cohort of 30 employees
Bank of Maldives (BML) has officially commenced its Chartered Banker Programme, with the objective of deepening the pool of existing certified expertise.
The initiative follows a Memorandum of Understanding signed with the Asian Institute of Chartered Bankers (AICB) in January 2026, aimed at supporting development of banking professionals for the Maldives financial sector through Charted Banking qualifications and professional development programmes.
In the first cohort, 30 Bank of Maldives employees have been enrolled and is expected to complete the qualification within two years.
The Bank’s CEO and Managing Director, Mohamed Shareef, commented, “At Bank of Maldives, we believe our people are our greatest asset. Continuous professional development plays a vital role in strengthening our institution and building future leaders. I am confident that the knowledge and exposure gained through this programme will contribute meaningfully to the personal growth of our employees and support the Bank’s continued progress.”
The Chartered Banker Programme is delivered through BML Academy, the Bank’s dedicated platform for structured employee development. This investment underscores Bank of Maldives’ enduring commitment to building internal capabilities, supporting its institution-wide transformation, and delivering superior banking services across the Maldives.
