Meanwhile, customers who have USD accounts set as their primary accounts can conduct foreign transactions of up to USD 3,000 daily. Customers can also do international money transfers with their USD accounts through internet and mobile banking.

While BML has lifted the limit on USD ATM withdrawals, the limit on debit and credit card transactions remain in place. As such, the monthly USD transaction limit on credit cards is USD 750, and the monthly USD transaction limit on debit cards of customers who have their MVR account set as their primary is USD 250.
