Bank of Maldives (BML) on Monday, announced the introduction of Weixin Pay, or WeChat Pay in overseas markets, as a payment method on its Point-of-Sale (POS) terminal network.
This allows merchants to accept QR payments from the popular Chinese app, while the app was previously only available on BML Payment Gateway.
“We have started the rollout of WeChat Pay at merchants at Velana International Airport’s duty-free shopping. By accepting WeChat Pay on the Bank’s POS network, we are paving the way for more than 1 billion active users of the Weixin and WeChat platform to make payments at merchants across Maldives,” said BML’s Director of Retail, Business & SME Banking, Moosa Nimal.
BML is also the leading provider of merchant payment solutions in the Maldives, with a range of products and services to suit different business segments and customer preferences.
The bank currently accepts payments of all major debit and credit cards including American Express, Visa, Mastercard, Union Pay, as well as digital wallets including BML Pay, Ali Pay, Apple Pay and Google Pay.
