JAM-DEX, Jamaica’s Central Bank Digital Currency (CBDC) is now available with the LYNK Mobile app.
Lynk app users will be able to use their JAM-DEX to:
- pay bills such as JPS, Utilities etc.
- purchase mobile phone credit for Digicel and Flow
- transfer to friends and other LYNK users
- paying for services at over 2,000 LYNK Merchants
- Exchange to and from JAMDEX/JMD.
Sagicor Bank, JN Bank and JMMB Bank have also indicated that they will develop JAMDEX-compatible digital wallet apps.
JAMDEX was made legal tender last month when the Upper House of Parliament passed the legislation.
It was initially piloted last year with a limited rollout among the staff of the central bank and a few select Jamaicans.
The government of jamaica and the central bank intends for its CBDC to be a way to encourage digital adoption and unfragmented digital access.
