Representing Brand Jamaica Through Financial Services
Since 1991, the JN brand has been a strong presence in Canada, offering Jamaicans and persons with an interest in or with ties to Jamaica the opportunity to establish or maintain roots, and strengthen those connections through access to information and financial services.
Today, the JN Group continues to thrive and strengthen its footprint in Canada under two separate brands- its commercial banking arm, JN Bank, and its remittance brand, JN Money - offering Jamaicans in Canada and friends of Jamaica a variety of ways to stay ‘in touch’ with the island.
Through its JN Bank Canada Representative Office, located at 1390 Eglington Avenue, West Toronto, persons are able to access information on their accounts or open JN Bank accounts in Jamaica; keep an eye on or receive information on mortgages and other loans, and also receive information on a variety of other JN Bank products and services in Jamaica.
Just a few minutes away at 1649 Eglington Avenue, is one of three JN Money branches in Canada, where persons can conduct a variety of money transfer services, primarily to and from Jamaica and the Caribbean, to include: money transfers for cash pick up; sending directly to bank accounts (except JN Bank); or money transfers to JN Money Cards, which allow recipients in Jamaica to withdraw at ATMs or to make purchases via point-of-sale terminals. They can also top-up phones and pay bills in Jamaica. JN Money also has branches located at Unit 57 Kennedy Square Mall, 50 Kennedy Road, Brampton, and 1143 Morningside Ave, Scarborough.
JN Bank, one of the top three banks in Jamaica, and JN Money, the largest remittance brand from the Caribbean, have become synonymous with the essence and spirit of Brand Jamaica among Canadians, providing Jamaican hospitality and service. And both these brands have been a medium through which Jamaicans abroad can invest financially and also emotionally in their homeland. Through a variety of activities and initiatives, the JN brand, through the work of these entities, also maintains a strong presence in Jamaican communities in Canada and has been integral to the organisation of Jamaicans in an effort to preserve the authentic values and traditions that define us as a people.
As Jamaica celebrates 60 years of independence, the JN brand naturally celebrates too, and will join Jamaicans in Canada as we reflect on our homeland and its infectious and influential culture.
