I feel so bad for that Kia person, sometime when you sitting in sit it hard to come out because you start panicking

Better to be over prepared than underprepared. If is one thing I learn in this last 3 months is that!!

Instagram has three different pathways academic, comedic or commercial. Nobody just sharing anymore and it’s not approachable anymore. I’m just a consumer and I don’t like that.

Omg! Congratulations!🎈🎊 #bigdeal
Maybe we need to lean into pooling money with good friends and creating a “compound” with a nice courtyard, kids grow up together, carpool reduce traffic, rebuild community.

Who gets hurt?
Households absorbing yet another cost-of-living squeeze. Small businesses paying for QuickBooks, Adobe, or cloud storage. Freelancers using international platforms. Students on Coursera or Duolingo. Gamers. Creators buying digital assets.
Businesses running Facebook or Google ads.
Every one of those payments now carries the 2.3% JMMB fee. If other banks follow, and they usually do, this becomes a sector-wide charge on Jamaica's participation in the global digital economy.
Some will absorb it. Some will cancel subscriptions. Some will hunt for local alternatives that barely exist. Some will move to informal payment channels. Every one of those responses has an economic consequence. – at Jamaica

No like this is so fucked up. Can imagine you go foreign, and have to pay sales tax plus additional tax to use your own money. Mighty God of Daniel.
I saw it and nearly choked. I thought perhaps I need to use a ($ card for us transactions
🚨JMMB just sent out an advisory that should make every Jamaican with a Netflix, Spotify, or Amazon subscription stop and read carefully.
Effective October 19, 2026, the bank will charge a 2.3% "International Card Transaction Conversion Fee" on payments to foreign merchants.
But here is what people are getting wrong and why the confusion matters for the wider fight over taxing digital services in Jamaica.
