JN to cash PATH, poor relief cheques on weekends
KINGSTON, Jamaica— Jamaica National (JN) Bank says it will be encashing social welfare cheques at select locations across the island, but only on Saturdays and Sundays, starting this weekend. JN said the move, to run from August 29 to September 20, is in support of citizens on the Programme of Advancement through Health and Education (PATH) and Poor Relief programmes.
According to a statement from the bank, to cash cheques, beneficiaries must take along a government-issued identification card, such as their elector registration card, driver’s licence or passport.
For convenience and speed, the bank said, beneficiaries who are JN members can deposit their cheques to their JN Bank accounts using the smart ATMs or drop box at any time.
A representative will be available to assist.
Persons can also visit the bank’s website, www.jnbank.com, and its Facebook and Instagram pages for the JN Bank location nearest to them that will be open on the weekend.
