No2 0fcc115784.
Enter recipient details and receiving method

Choose Jamaica as the destination, enter the amount in CAD, and select how your recipient should receive the money. You can send to a Jamaican bank account or choose cash pickup through available partners. Add the recipient’s full legal name, mobile number, and delivery details carefully.

No3 814c704aba.
Complete your identity verification

Verify your identity once so RemitBee can keep your account secure and meet Canadian compliance requirements. You may be asked for a government ID, passport, driver’s license, proof of address, or other details. Your verified profile also helps determine your transfer limit.

No4 352f9051c5.
Choose your payment method

Pay for your Canada to Jamaica transfer using Debit Card, Interac e-Transfer, Bill Payment, EFT, Direct Withdrawal, or your RemitBee CAD Balance. Choose debit when speed matters most, or use bank-funded options for lower fees on planned transfers.

No5 377cf751e2.
Confirm your transfer 

Review the transfer fee, CAD to JMD exchange rate, recipient details, delivery method, and final amount your recipient will receive in Jamaican dollars. Confirm only when the name, account details, pickup option, and expected arrival time look correct.

No6 9d70c10a35.
Track your transfer

Once you send, follow the transfer status in real time. Save your receipt and transaction reference number, then share only the required pickup or tracking details with your recipient. If a question comes up, RemitBee support is available to help.

Cheapest way to send money to Jamaica

The cheapest way to send money to Jamaica is to focus on the total JMD your recipient receives, not just the transfer fee. No transfer fee on eligible transfers over $500 CAD.
  • Pay by Interac e-Transfer, Bill Payment, EFT, or Direct Withdrawal.
  • Great for family support, rent, school fees, utility bills, and bank deposits.
  • Transfers under $500 CAD incur a $2.99 CAD fee.
  • Debit Card funding is faster but usually costs more.

    Whether you're sending money to Kingston, Montego Bay, Portmore, or Spanish Town, always compare the final payout amount. A low fee means little if a weaker exchange rate leaves your recipient with fewer Jamaican dollars.

What’s the best way to send money to Jamaica?

Speed, cost, and recipient access decide the best way to send money to Jamaica. Some recipients prefer a direct deposit to their bank account. Others need cash pickup because they do not want to wait for a bank deposit, or they do not have easy access to online banking.

Bank transfer

Bank deposits are best for planned transfers, repeat family support, and larger amounts. RemitBee supports deposits to major Jamaican bank destinations, including National Commercial Bank Jamaica, Scotiabank Jamaica, JN Bank, JMMB Bank, Sagicor Bank Jamaica, First Global Bank, CIBC FirstCaribbean International Bank, Citibank Jamaica, Victoria Mutual Building Society, and Bank of Jamaica.

Cash Pickup

Cash pickup is useful when your recipient needs funds quickly or does not want the money sent to a bank account. After you start your transfer and select Cash Pickup, available pickup locations will be shown. Make sure the recipient’s name matches their government ID so the collection goes smoothly.

Available payment methods & speed 

Here’s how fast each funding option can move your transfer from Canada to Jamaica, from quickest to slowest.

Instant
Debit

Use your debit card to fund an urgent money transfer to Jamaica right away. This is the fastest payment method, but it usually costs more than bank-funded options.

15 Minutes
e-Transfer

Send RemitBee an Interac e-Transfer from your Canadian bank, similar to sending money to a friend or family member. Once received, the funds are credited to your RemitBee account and used toward your Jamaica transfer.

1 Business day
Bill Payment

Pay RemitBee through your online banking bill payment section or through your local bank where supported. This works well for planned transfers and for senders who prefer using their existing Canadian banking setup.

1-2 Business day
EFT

Use EFT or Direct Withdrawal to move funds from your Canadian bank account to RemitBee. It is a practical option for repeat senders who want a lower-cost way to support family in Jamaica.

Frictionless transfers

Competitive CAD to JMD rates

The exchange rate matters as much as the fee. A small difference in the CAD to JMD rate can change how much your recipient receives, especially on larger transfers. RemitBee shows the rate before you confirm, so you can see the Jamaican dollar payout clearly and make a better cost comparison.

Free transfers over $500 CAD

When you send over $500 CAD and pay by Interac e-Transfer, EFT, Direct Withdrawal, or Bill Payment, your transfer can be fee-free. That helps when you are sending regular support to family, covering monthly expenses, or sending a larger planned transfer to a Jamaican bank account.

You see what your recipient receives

RemitBee shows the transfer fee, exchange rate, and final JMD amount before you send. That means fewer surprises for both sides. Your recipient should know what to expect, whether the money is going to a bank account or being collected as cash in Jamaica.
