Why Jamaica Needs Better International Payments
Banks charge too much for international transfers
Traditional wire transfers through Jamaican banks come with high fees, unfavourable exchange rates, and processing delays of 3–5 business days. On a US$10,000 property deposit, the difference between a bank rate and a competitive rate can cost you hundreds of dollars. WorldFirst offers competitive rates that put more money where it needs to go.
The diaspora sends billions to Jamaica every year
Jamaicans abroad send over US$3 billion in remittances annually. Whether you are supporting family, paying school fees, or saving toward a property purchase back home, the exchange rate you get directly impacts how much arrives. WorldFirst is built for exactly this — moving money internationally at competitive rates.
Buying property in Jamaica from overseas? The FX rate is your hidden cost
A property purchase involves transferring large sums — often US$50,000 to US$500,000 or more. At a bank exchange rate with a 2–3% spread, that is US$1,000 to US$15,000 lost to poor conversion. WorldFirst's competitive rates can save a meaningful amount on the total cost of your purchase. Stamp duty (5.5% split between vendor and purchaser) and transfer tax are fixed by law — but the FX rate is the one cost you can actually control.
Jamaica's MSME businesses need global payment rails
97% of Jamaica's taxpaying businesses are MSMEs. Many sell on international marketplaces, accept payments from overseas clients, or pay for imported supplies. PayPal charges 3–4% on currency conversion. WorldFirst offers a competitive alternative — collect marketplace earnings, hold multiple currencies, and convert when the rate suits you.
