Posted on July 22, 2008  /  0 Comments

Maldives is the South Asian country that has reached market saturation in mobiles. Now the game is services. According to the report below, they have introduced a new service to move money from bank machines into prepaid accounts. One wonders how many of Maldives citizens have bank accounts. If a great majority do, this can be a very useful service, in places like Male and Hulhumale where most Maldivians live and work. Not the greatest in remote atolls though.

Dhiraagu, the national telecom service provider, in collaboration with Bank of Maldives, has introduced ATM pre paid recharge service.

Speaking at the launching ceremony of the service, Dhiraagu’s Chief Executive Officer Ismail Rasheed said that the service is a 24 hours service and will prove extremely useful to customers as they can easily get their mobiles recharged via ATMs even when all the shops close.
