About the Jamaican dollar exchange rate
The Jamaican dollar (JMD) floats against major currencies, so its value shifts daily with market conditions. This converter pulls a live mid-market rate, which is the reference rate before any bank or cambio markup. Banks and cambios in Jamaica typically add a spread, so the rate you receive when buying or selling foreign currency will differ slightly from the mid-market figure shown here.
Frequently asked
What is the mid-market rate? It is the midpoint between the buy and sell prices of a currency, the fairest reference rate. Banks and cambios add a margin on top.
Why is the cambio rate different? Cambios and banks add a spread to cover costs and profit, so their buy and sell rates sit on either side of the mid-market rate.
How often does the rate update? The converter refreshes the rate each time the page loads.
