JAM-DEX officially launched through Lynk App

The debate over CBDCs is far from settled, but it underscores the need for thoughtful, collaborative policymaking as the financial world transitions into a digital future. In a financial era defined by digital innovation, the Trump administration’s outright rejection of a United States (US) Central Bank Digital Currency (CBDC) has sparked fierce debate. “There was a healthy interest in Lynk even prior to the Jam-Dex announcement, and though we saw an uptick after the announcement, we have seen sustained interest due to the addition of our other new features like our mobile top-up.

Barita’s 2023 annual report which was due by January 28 is still pending and should be submitted by April 30. The annual report would contain the notice of annual general meeting (AGM). As they spend, transfer and receive CBDC, they create and build a transaction history which can be used to open the way to source loan financing, which, if used well, can boost financial well-being. The governor pointed out that smaller enterprises have been taking advantage of the digital currency as they serve their customers.

Your wallet will remain secure once your email and password have not been compromised. If you are concerned that your security login details may have been compromised, please contact JN Bank immediately. You can send money to others for withdrawal from a JN Bank Smart ATM and they don’t need a JN Bank account or a JN Bank ATM card! This contact then receives an SMS with the transfer number which they will use at the nearest JN Bank Smart ATM to withdraw. Meanwhile, JN Bank says it will leverage the strength of the Jamaica National Group to provide its users with a “seamless solution” and will also provide customers with access to complementary or discounted services offered by the group. The BOJ is also seeking to make deposit-taking institutions have Jam-Dex as a percentage of their monthly currency order, which was set to have taken effect in January 2024.

The ease of accessing the Lynk digital wallet allows for equitable access to JAM-DEX for all,” asserted Natalie Haynes, BOJ deputy governor with responsibility for banking and currency operations and financial markets infrastructure divisions. Central Bank Digital Currencies (CBDCs) are digital currencies issued and regulated by a central bank. They represent the digital form of a country’s official currency and are a direct liability of the Central bank.
