Western Union integration with both
GraceKennedy’s GKOne mobile application and Lynk mobile wallet
provides Jamaican customers with choice and unparalleled access to
funds sent from abroad
Western Union today announced growth in its portfolio of digital
capabilities providing Jamaicans with more ways to receive
cross-border remittances from virtually anywhere in the world.
Jamaicans can now access Western Union money transfer services
through GraceKennedy’s GKOne mobile wallet app and Lynk’s mobile
wallet app, giving customers the option to receive money digitally.
This allows for instant access to funds, 24/7, from anywhere. The
addition of the two largest mobile wallets in Jamaica complements
the more than 200 Western Union retail locations across Jamaica,
and the direct to bank account service also available to receive
funds.
Remittances sent to the island provide essential financial
support and are a significant contributor to Jamaica’s economy.
Western Union, GraceKennedy and Lynk collectively share a mission
to increase consumer access to digital financial services. By
integrating Western Union’s global money transfer services into
GKOne and Lynk, customers now benefit from additional choice,
convenience and speed at which they can receive money from
abroad.
Don Wehby, Group CEO of GraceKennedy (GK), Western Union’s
exclusive service partner in Jamaica and nine other countries
across the Caribbean, commented, “GK is pleased to facilitate this
innovative advancement in financial technology and customer
service. This initiative aligns with our commitment to providing
exceptional value and convenience to our customers across Jamaica
and the broader Caribbean region, in keeping with our vision of
being the number one Caribbean brand in the world by 2030.”
“GraceKennedy has been pivotal in our global digital expansion
strategy, both through the launch of the GKOne app, and allowing us
to welcome Lynk and their mobile wallet to our network,” said
Rodrigo Garcia Estebarena, President, Western Union North America
and Latin America. “Through GraceKennedy, these new connections
ensure we continue meeting the needs of those who trust us. These
alliances are about bridging the digital and physical worlds at an
unmatched scale across Jamaica.”
“We seek to give our customers easy access to the money they
receive from abroad using our Lynk app, enhanced now through our
collaboration with GraceKennedy and Western Union,” said Danielle
Cameron Duncan, Vice President, Payments and Digital Channels,
Lynk. “The increasing adoption of the Lynk mobile wallet by
Jamaicans represents a significant advancement in transforming the
remittance experience. It offers unparalleled ease of access,
eliminating the need for physical lines with its 24/7 availability
every day of the week.”
By providing an alternative to traditional banking and cash
pickups, this collaboration is another significant step delivered
by Western Union and GraceKennedy toward increasing financial
inclusion in Jamaica, fostering increased accessibility to
financial services across a broader customer base, including those
in remote areas.
