Bill Express,Trans Jamaican Highway launch payment partnership
KINGSTON, Jamaica — GraceKennedy Payment Services (GKPS) has partnered with TransJamaican Highway to allow T-Tag top-ups at all Bill Express locations islandwide.
The expanded service offers T-Tag users for the Portmore, Spanish Town, Old Harbour and May Pen legs of the highway more ways to pay in near real-time, the companies say.
“This is convenience redefined for TransJam Highway users,” said Regional Manager of GraceKennedy Payment Services Terence Slater.
“With a Bill Express outlet in nearly every community—from Western Union locations, to post offices, pharmacies and supermarkets—topping up your T-Tag has never been easier. This is a partnership that drives Jamaica forward.”
In order to use the service customers need the 16 characters that appear on their T-Tag sticker or swipe card, and will receive confirmation for each transaction.
They will then be able to access the t-tag lane successfully within 10 minutes of completing the transaction.
TransJamaican says the toll has been a critical thoroughfare since the passage of Hurricane Melissa, which severely impacted non-toll routes. With toll booths open for daily commuting, the partnership allows Jamaicans to return to normal more quickly by improving travel ease.
“Our mission has always been to improve the toll-road experience for Jamaicans,” said Managing Director of Trans Jamaican Highway Ivan Anderson.
He added “through this collaboration with Bill Express, we’re delivering reliable access that keeps Jamaica moving, especially at a time when connectivity and mobility matter most.”
CEO of GraceKennedy Money Services, home of Bill Express Margaret Campbell, added: “We remain committed to meeting Jamaicans where they are. This partnership reflects our focus on innovation, access and service excellence.”
T-Tag top-ups will also be available through additional Bill Express channels in the coming weeks, giving motorists even more convenient options to manage their accounts.
