The Maldives
Instant Payment System, Favara, has expanded its network with the
onboarding of three new service providers—Habib Bank Limited (HBL),
Commercial Bank of Maldives (CBM), and Dhiraagu Fintech Private Limited
(Dhiraagu Fintech)—the Maldives Monetary Authority (MMA) announced today.
This development
marks a major milestone as Dhiraagu Fintech becomes the first non-bank
payment service provider (PSP) to join Favara. All three participants
successfully completed pilot testing and met the necessary prerequisites before
their official onboarding.
With this
expansion, customers of HBL, CBM, and Dhiraagu Fintech can now access
Favara's full suite of services, including Favara Transfers, Favara
Request, Favara ID, and Favara Recall. The move also solidifies Favara’s
presence across the Maldivian banking sector, as all banks operating in the
country are now part of the system—enabling seamless transactions between any
bank accounts.
The MMA also
revealed that additional PSPs are in the process of integrating with Favara,
further broadening the system’s accessibility and financial inclusivity in the
Maldives.
