The Maldives Monetary Authority is seeking vendors for a new payment system development project.
The central bank described the Maldives Payment System Development as a “three-phase initiative to transform the payment landscape of Maldives,” the main objective of which is to create an “all-inclusive instant payment system” that would allow users to make and receive payments regardless of their bank or island of residence.
“Our primary objective is to transform the payment services in Maldives by enabling users to make and receive payments instantly, irrespective of the island they live on or where they bank,” said Hawwa Latheef, senior manager of MMA’s payment systems section.
“We believe that this project will bring a significant change to the daily livelihood of people through easy, accessible and affordable digital financial services.”
