Currency
Exchange:
Jamaican
law requires that the local currency be
used when paying for all goods and services,
though that law is followed very loosely
and the U.S. dollar is accepted almost universally.
There are exchange bureaus in airports,
hotels, and commercial banks. When you make
an exchange, keep all receipts because you
must present them upon departure when you
reconvert unspent currency.
Credit
Cards:
All
major American and Eurpoean credit cards
are accepted throughout Jamaica.
Banks:
Banking
hours are usually Monday to Thursday 9am
to 2pm, and Friday 9am to 4pm.
