ATMs and New Currency UPDATE Oct 2023

[Rob]

It used to be limited to 30k but you could do two transactions back to back for a total of 60k. Last year a security guard at the bank told me I could take out up to $100k. I tried it and it worked. I was able to get $100,000J a day throughout Jan. & Feb.

That j$30,000 limit is per transaction. It is a standard limit by all the banks.

You can do more than one transaction, j$60,000 would be 2 transactions, $75,000 would be 3. I think your daily limit is based on your home bank's limits.

I was referring to $100,000 per transaction.

$30,000J was the limit but when covid hit Scotiabank raised the limit to $100K. I still can get up to $100K but I've found you have to pick the ATM that say "This ABM issues $5000 bills". I think most if not all will dispense $5000 bills but sometimes the machine doesn't have enough to dispense. The line up for Scotiabank downtown and the one at the airport are always long. That's why I like to get $100K and put the wad in my safe, just taking a lekle bit with me (is it lekel bit or ikel bit??) It also depends on what card your using. If you're using a US or Canadian bank card and you have a limit of $500 back home you won't be able to get more than that equivalent here. My card is Scotiabank Jamaica. Maybe we need to start an email campaign to Scotiabank Jamaica and NCB to get more ATM machines in Negril. Just a thought.
