JNBS launches hurricane recovery fund

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

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

For no fee, persons can send remittances to account number 10272794.
Contributors can use any of JN Money Transfer outlets in Canada, the United
States of America and the United Kingdom, and the company notes 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, by reducing the transaction fee until
Saturday 9th October 2004. The fees will be reduced 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 applies for Canada and the
United Kingdom. Funds raised will be turned over to the Government on a date
soon to be announced.
