How to send money from Jamaica to United States
Sending money from Jamaica to United States doesn’t have a huge amount of options. Because of this, we suggest sending money via:
An agent like Western Union, MoneyGram, or Ria Money Transfer
Wise (USD/USD or EUR/EUR transfers)
Send cash to United States from Jamaica
Agents are physical stores where you hand in JMD as cash and the receiver picks it up from the store in United States.
Western Union Agent
We suggest using Western Union agent as it's reputable, fast, and is partnered with multiple banks in Jamaica.
The fees and rates will vary from day to day and based on your transfer amount, but it's still much cheaper than using your bank directly.
To get started, find the closest WU agent using the store locator, fill in the forms at the counter, pay for your transfer and let the recipient know.
Most transfers will be available for collection the same day, but sometimes can take up to a few days.
