Starting today, Jamaican users of the GraceKennedy GKOne mobile wallet and the NCB Financial Groups Lynk mobile wallet app can receive money digitally via Western Union within their wallets.
This development means funds sent to Western Union can be instantly accessed 24/7 and anywhere within the mobile wallets.
This additionally complements Jamaica’s more than 200 Western Union retail locations across Jamaica, and the direct-to-bank account service is also available to receive funds.
Don Wehby, Group CEO of GraceKennedy (GK), Western Union’s exclusive service partner in Jamaica and nine other countries across the Caribbean, commented, “GK is pleased to facilitate this innovative advancement in financial technology and customer service. This initiative aligns with our commitment to providing exceptional value and convenience to our customers across Jamaica and the broader Caribbean region, in keeping with our vision of being the number one Caribbean brand in the world by 2030.”
“GraceKennedy has been pivotal in our global digital expansion strategy, both through the launch of the GKOne app, and allowing us to welcome Lynk and their mobile wallet to our network,” said Rodrigo Garcia Estebarena, President, Western Union North America and Latin America. “Through GraceKennedy, these new connections ensure we continue meeting the needs of those who trust us. These alliances are about bridging the digital and physical worlds at an unmatched scale across Jamaica.”
“We seek to give our customers easy access to the money they receive from abroad using our Lynk app, enhanced now through our collaboration with GraceKennedy and Western Union,” said Danielle Cameron Duncan, Vice President, Payments and Digital Channels, Lynk. “The increasing adoption of the Lynk mobile wallet by Jamaicans represents a significant advancement in transforming the remittance experience. It offers unparalleled ease of access, eliminating the need for physical lines with its 24/7 availability every day of the week.”
