A major increase in the transfer limit has been announced by the Maldives Monetary Authority (MMA) for the Maldives Payment System Development project’s “Favara” rapid payment system.
Users can now transfer up to MVR 200,000 between banks via Favara, which is a significant increase from the MVR 50,000 cap that was in place previously. Furthermore, MVR 10,000 is now the maximum amount that may be requested through Favara.
The Maldives’ Favara system was created by the MMA with the goal of offering quick, safe, and convenient payment options. It lets customers transact money instantly, no matter which bank or payment service provider they choose.
Participating banks in Favaara include:
- Bank of Maldives (BML)
- Maldives Islamic Bank (MIB)
- State Bank of India (SBI)
- Mauritius Commercial Bank (MCB)
- Bank of Ceylon (BOC)
The characteristics of Favaara ID and Favaara Request can be used for both interbank and intrabank transactions. BML has chosen not to provide Favaara request services for inter-account transactions, though.
