Currency, Banks and Cash in Jamaica SwissFrancs yes or no!?

Here in Jamaica we use the Jamaican dollar as our currency.

Licensed cambio centers and commercial banks are accessible in all resort areas. The official currency exchange rates vary daily, so it’s advisable to shop around for the best rate before converting your cash. Most Jamaican ATMs accept international bank cards with Visa, MasterCard, Cirrus and Plus logos. Banks also give credit card advances, change traveler’s checks among other financial services.

For my Swissfriends its very difficult to change Swissfrancs here especially outside of Kingston so better change your swiss money to $,£ or euros. Also besser  scho di hai wächslä;)Image
