Credit card accepted at select post offices
Jamaica Post now has a credit card payment facility. It
is designed to expedite the payment process for Corporate
Mailroom Service customers whose postage payments have
either been in cash or Manager’s Cheque. Naturally,
it also provides an easier alternative for other customers
to make faster postage stamp payments.
The availability of this credit card payment alternative
is limited to the Central Sorting Office, Mona and Liguanea
post offices, but other locations will soon be added.
It accommodates the usual ‘MasterCard’, ‘Visa’ and ‘KeyCard’ transactions,
but only in Jamaican currency (JM$).
Deputy Postmaster General, Carolle Hainsley, who has
portfolio responsibility for administrative matters,
stated that: “Numerous customers have requested
that this popular electronic format for making payments
be made available to transact business with the postal
service, as they find it more convenient than using cheques
or cash”.
She added that this major project advances the Post
and Telecommunications Department’s modernisation
process by giving its customers more flexibility.
Until recently, credit and debit card transactions were
only accommodated for the bill payment transaction facility
offered through Paymaster (Ja) at specific post offices.
Customers will therefore now have more choice in their
methods of making payments for the wide range of services
offered by the postal service.
