What is the fastest way to do a money transfer to Canada from Jamaica?

It could be a stressful experience if you need to rush money quickly from Jamaica to Canada. How do you decide which option to pick to ensure your funds arrive at the destination in the fastest possible way?

First, you should ensure that you are picking the right payment method to convert JMD to CAD. Most remittance companies will allow you to pay by cash, with credit or debit cards, via a direct bank transfer, through a wire transfer, and so on. Digital payment methods like wire transfers and bank transfers will certainly delay your transaction as compared to cash payments.

Similarly, on the receiving side, your recipient also has multiple options to collect their monies in Canadian Dollar. The payout choices generally include cash pickup, direct bank transfer, loading up a mobile wallet, and mobile airtime top up. If transaction speed is important, you could choose cash pickup if the receiver can access a close by pickup location. Just be aware that the exchange rate on cash transactions may not be the best, and there is risk in handling cash, especially for larger amounts. Otherwise, a mobile airtime top up or a bank deposit may be the next fastest possible ways unless there are bank holidays going on.

Foreign exchange transaction speed also depends on some additional factors like transfer amount, compliance and regulatory processes and vary from provider to provider. Check out our remittance guide to answer any questions you may have on how remittances work in general, and what factors affect the speed of your Jamaica to Canada money transfers.
