Bank of Maldives (BML) has announced its American Express Debit Cards will now be accepted worldwide.
Initially launched for domestic use, the American Express Debit Cards can now be linked to USD accounts for foreign purchases online and overseas, up to a daily default limit of USD3,000.
The Acting Managing Director of BML Aishath Noordeen said the existing debit card product has been extended by providing acceptance at all American Express merchants worldwide, as part of the long-standing partnership with American Express.
Meanwhile, the Vice President, Global Network Services, India and South Asia, American Express, added that BML has been a valued partner for American Express in South Asia and the launch of the American Express Debit Card for international usage is a natural extension of the efforts to provide the members in the Maldives the flexibility of using their card globally while catering to their lifestyle and spend behavior.
The national bank said all existing American Express Debit Cardholders can request to set a USD account as the card’s primary account via internet or mobile banking. Applications for new cards can also be made online.
