CAMPBELL... the site will be updated daily

THE Jamaica Bankers Association yesterday launched its website, which the association's president, Raymond Campbell, hoped will become "a one-stop source of vital information about the financial industry".

The site's address is: www.jba.org.jm.

Campbell said that the site will be updated daily.

Speaking that the site's formal launch at the Terra Nova hotel in Kingston, Grata Bogues, the CEO of the Private Sector Organisation of Jamaica, said that its importance was underscored by the fact that 1.4 million people in the Caribbean use the Internet -- 100,000 of them Jamaicans.

Among the information that will be found on the site is:

* a list of Acts by which the industry is governed, including draft legislation; eg the proposed credit bureau;

* articles on the industry which have appeared in the press;

* sites for individual member insitutions;

* articles on industry-related issues, eg the automated clearing house (ACH) network, the anti-fraud database;

* government relations, eg issues on the exchange rate stability, interest rate policy;

* performance of the sector; and

* JBA metings and activities, including the Jamaica Institute Of Bankers (JIOB) training programmes and seminars.
