Opening a bank account in the Maldives

Julien

Hi all,

is it difficult for °µÍø½ûÇøs to open a bank account in the Maldives  ?

Which documents are required to open a bank account in the Maldives  ?

How long does it take to open it ?

Is there any restriction for °µÍø½ûÇøs regarding the services (loans for instance)  ?

Which bank would you recommend ?

Thanks in advance for your participation,

Julien

Hi Julien,

Basic documents are the same in any bank. Valid government IDs, proof of income, etc. The difference is that you need someone who will 'vouch' for you before you can open an account.

Loans and credit cards for °µÍø½ûÇøs? I am not so sure about that. Same thing, I guess.

You can try HSBC Maldives (high opening and maintaining balance though), Bank of Maldives and State Bank of India are also good choices. I'm with BML and their services are ok. Our company opened the account on our behalf and it only took about a week to open as long as all documents are submitted.

Hope this helps.
