Concerns are mounting as several Bank of Maldives (BML) customers report large, unauthorised deductions from their bank accounts.
Social media has been flooded with screenshots of mini-statements from individuals claiming that funds were withdrawn from their accounts without their knowledge. Numerous BML customers have also confirmed to Adhadhu that they are experiencing these unexplained transactions.
According to information shared with this outlet, the unauthorised withdrawals began early this morning across various accounts. These transactions appear to be originating from international ATMs.
Reported losses vary, with some customers noting multiple deductions ranging from MVR 25 to as much as MVR 100,000.
When contacted for clarification regarding the situation, BML spokesperson Mohamed Saeed did not respond to phone calls.
Frustrated customers have also taken to social media to express their grievances, alleging that the bank has been unresponsive to their calls and inquiries regarding the missing funds.
While BML has yet to issue an official statement on the matter, the bank typically releases public clarifications shortly after such issues gain widespread attention.
