The Bank of Maldives has partnered with Mastercard and Maldives Immigration to create a multi-purpose, biometric passport card for the archipelago. The Maldives Passport Card can be used to make contactless and traditional payments, but also acts as a national identity card, driver's licence and health and insurance card that complies with International Civil Aviation Organization data standards. The card can be loaded with additional health or academic information, and is made from a durable plastic that can last three years.
