Introducing The Jamaica National Group

JN Bank UK is the newest member to the Jamaica National Group (JN Group) family. The JN Group is one of Jamaica’s most pre-eminent and recognisable brands with nearly 15 decades of history. The Group has expanded internationally to the US, the Cayman Islands and now more recently to the UK, while also offering a broad range of banking, international payment services and insurance services through its member companies.

The Jamaica National Group is a mutual organization and is committed to the success and growth of its members, using business as a force for good to improve the outcomes for Jamaicans wherever they may reside. It is this spirit that led to the formation of JN Bank UK, creating a bank that supports the Diaspora while also providing UK consumers with a real alternative to the traditional high street banks.
