    It a blessing to hear that Jamaicans want to come home but my advice to you all is :if you can afford it buy a house in a community that you are not from buy it,why? Most time when you are from a community, leave and come back, people think that you owe them something. If you live somewhere else then you avoid all of that and might be able to enjoy the money that you work so hard for over the years.

    Yes Morris, I was recently in Jamaica and was sorely disappointed too. I had savings at JTA and wanted to get a loan to buy property. I had a great balance in my account but they wanted a title (I don’t buy the land yet) among other things. Short story, I had to withdraw most of my shares to finance my business. Next, I went to Jamaica National New Kingston branch to open an account. I waited over an hour just to see a teller, she started the process, asked me for proof of who I am. I gave my US passport, my TRN, my pay stubs, my job letter, utility bills, NIS number, A state ID, and these were NOT enough to open the account. They wanted a Jamaican passport that was current too. I had an account with them and they found the account online. But, they still denied me the account. They discourage returning residents opening accounts with them. Well, I wanted the convenience of having the same bank in New York to transact business. Suffice to say, I went to Scotia bank (Liguanea) to open an account. Same documents presented. Account opened!!! Big up Scotia Bank!!!

      @random-ig6tp 4 місяці тому +3

      Which bank would give a loan to a "foreigner"? Using a U.S. passport instead of a Jamaican one makes it seem like you don't have strong ties to Jamaica, raising concerns that you might abandon your loan. It's unfortunate that this has to be explained to an adult.

      Ironically thats the reason why I would not retire in jamaica, I have no problem with whomever want to make that choice, I respect their personal decision. However, for me the same thing that this video is complaining about is exactly why I would not retire in jamaica, I said it before and I will say it again, jamaica is a backward place run by incompetent leaders. They have no vision and or foresight. There are so many places one can retire in the world with tropical environment and safety without compromise, jamaica is not the only place with nice beaches and sunshine.

    Hi Mi Chef friend! I want to tell you to keep planning and making Decisions that are first guided by our GOD, family centered and self gratifying. My grandmother always said, “If a man has a plan, a good woman will follow him anywhere!” In other words, some men lack direction and rely on other things including the woman to make all decisions for his family. He is not sure of his role as a man, leader, husband and father, the provider. Right. So families are often time over stressed and destroyed as a result of this. As long as you keep GOD first and allow Him to order your steps, YOU and all things attached to you will be ever blessed by GOD(cars, health, finances, family, everything Mi friend!). Thanks for sharing. Nuf love from Dallas, Texas ✋🏽🙏🏽❤️✋🏽🤗

I have been back home now for 4 years and l could not be happier, living my best life, eating healthy. So many people can't believe l just upped and moved back home after so many years, there was so much negativity but God has been good to me and home is where my heart has always been and l wanted to spend my money in my home country. I used to visit Canada often before the Pandemic as l have lots of relatives there. The system in JA really needs improvement. I really admire what you are doing and wish all the best for the future for you and your family.

Ive seen legitimate business men have to turn over documents to show where they derived the money from. If not the US seizes their assest and puts a freeze on their accounts. Its no joke. The US govt is watching you even if you live in Jamaica. The other day a house in Whitehouse Jamaica was raided and $600 million US dollars was found stacked in a bedroom from floor to ceiling. Within a week the US Coast Guard were patroling the waters up and down the south coast. I witnessed this myself. ( The US Ship that is )

      Joan, what credit union did you use?
      I was back home in May & went to update my information on my joint account I opened with my mother when I was a preteen before migrating to Canada.
      Despite having my IDs, bill showing my address, pay information they still wouldn’t update my info & asking for 2 people to vouch for me in JA! I’m like, I haven’t lived in JA since I was 13, I don’t know any Pastor or accountant etc.
      Plus my aunt is a vice principal & they said I can’t use her. Mind you I work for a major financial institution in Canada for over almost 2 decades and they wouldn’t update my information.
      I found this mind boggling as I’m already on the account and not even opening a new account. Such a turn off.
      I’d rather open an account with a credit union as you suggested.

    I so respect your outlook on life and wanting your son to experience what you did. Many times we shield our children from the very things that made us who we are: strong, responsible, having respect, confidence, tenacity, appreciation for hard work, trust/praise God etc. and instead of preparing them for the future, we prepare the future for them. Your son has such a solid foundation to emulate. For a young man, you have my respect 🙏

The bank refused my application initially and said my salary couldn't afford me the requested portion. Long and short, the bank manager reviewed my request and granted me the loan.

      The minister of finance needs to first provide a SENSIBLE explanation to the CITIZENS of Jamaica, who just happen to have a foreign address, why they are treated with such disrespect, if/ when try try to do business with one of the excuse for financial institutions in the country of their birth.
      If you think it’s bad being denied a loan…imagine being denied the opportunity to open a savings account and put honestly earned money INTO a Jamaican bank, to open a savings account, on the grounds that I was not currently employed(because I had resigned from my work shortly prior to that)…even tho I could show proof of regular paychecks coming from an employer and electronically deposited into my foreign accounts for MANY years. So if you worked for many years abroad and saved the money your earned…and then decide you want to use some of that honestly earned money to open a SAVINGS account in Jamaica, expect to face the possibility of spending half the day on line (some of it even waiting outside 🙄), only to be rejected by TWO different banks.
      I went from feeling shocked, to feeling angry, and now I just feel a deep sense of embarrassment mixed with DISGUST, that the land of my birth is being run with such arrogance, stupidity, sloppiness, and financial negligence.

So when I go to the bank that account is still there and I tried to end it because they were giving me such a hard time but I’m glad I did not cancel it and so it’s working for me when I go back-and-forth so you’re right if you have an account or even as a child keep that account active put some money in it because it’s another thing they’ll shut it down if you don’t have money going in and then it takes a long time to get it up again so keep it active OK
