JMMB's Lending Approach
Jamaica Money Market Brokers (JMMB) expanded into retail banking and now offers personal loans and mortgage products in addition to its investment services. Its positioning emphasises personalised service and competitive pricing.
Because JMMB is also an investment firm, it occasionally positions loan-vs-investment planning as part of its client conversations — something worth exploring if you have existing JMMB investment accounts.

Combined Loan and Investment Strategy
If you hold JMMB investment accounts, ask whether a loan-vs-investment analysis is available. Understanding whether to pay down debt faster or continue investing is a nuanced decision that depends on rate differentials and return expectations.
