🇨🇦🇯🇲 About Sending Money to Jamaica
Canada is home to one of the largest Jamaican diaspora communities outside Jamaica itself, concentrated in Ontario. Remittances are a major part of Jamaica’s economy, and several providers on this page route payouts through Jamaica’s own financial institutions rather than a single dominant digital wallet.
Did you know?
JMMB Money Transfer is a recurring payout partner across multiple providers compared above, reflecting its role as one of Jamaica’s major financial institutions for receiving international transfers.
Victoria Mutual Building Society (VMBS) and National Commercial Bank (NCB) are two of Jamaica’s largest banks and appear as named payout destinations for direct bank deposit.
LASCO Money Stores and the LASCO GOLD prepaid card offer an additional cash-pickup and card-loading network beyond traditional bank branches.

Methodology
Remit Architect compares providers using a standardized $100 CAD transfer benchmark from a Canadian bank account to a recipient account in Kenya. Rates, fees, and payout methods are verified directly against each provider’s own website or app rather than assumed, and this comparison is current as of August 19, 2026. Payout methods are corridor-specific — a provider’s Kenya options may differ from its options for other destinations or sender countries.
