The Jamaica National Building Society (JNBS) has established a 'Recovery Fund' to help aid Jamaica's recovery after Hurricane Ivan.

Under the fund Jamaicans and friends of Jamaica can send contributions to help rebuild Jamaica via JNBS outlets for free.

For no fee you can send your remittances to account number 10272794. Contributors can use any of our JN Money Transfer Outlets in Canada, the United States of America and the United Kingdom. Remember, there will be no charge for these transactions.

JNBS is also going to assist those who are sending funds to their relatives or friends during this difficult time. How you may ask? By reducing the transaction fee until Saturday 9th October 2004.

JNBS will be reducing its fees for sums of US$1-US$300, which are sent during this period.

For example, remittances within the band mentioned, sent during the 30-day period, will be reduced from US$10 to US$7. The same trend will be for Canada and the UK (please check the outlets for the exact rates).

Funds raised will be turned over to the Government on a date soon to be announced date.
