Bank of Maldives’ Swipe Named Official Digital Wallet of Visit Maldives

Bank of Maldives has announced its innovative digital wallet Swipe as the official wallet of Visit Maldives, marking a significant step toward enhancing the digital experience for visitors to the Maldives.

The strategic partnership was formalized during a signing ceremony held at the Bank of Maldives headquarters. The agreement was signed by Mohamed Shareef and Ibrahim Shiuree.

Under the agreement, Swipe will be positioned as the premier payment solution for tourists visiting the Maldives, offering a convenient and secure way to make payments throughout their stay. The collaboration further reinforces the country’s commitment to digital innovation while maintaining its reputation for premium hospitality.

Swipe is a 100 percent Maldivian-developed multi-currency digital wallet built in compliance with domestic regulatory frameworks and international payment industry standards. The app enables both local and international transactions and can be funded through Bank of Maldives accounts or through any credit, debit, or prepaid card.

Since its limited release in January, Swipe has introduced several core features designed to simplify digital payments. These include instant person-to-person transfers, fast QR code payments, personalized spending insights, shareable payment links, and simplified top-ups and withdrawals.

The latest agreement builds on the broader strategic partnership established between Bank of Maldives and Visit Maldives last year. The collaboration highlights a shared commitment to accelerating digital transformation within the tourism sector, improving operational efficiency, and strengthening the global competitiveness of the Maldivian travel industry.
