Leading competitors have a dirty little secret. They add hidden markups to their exchange rates - charging you more without your knowledge. And if they have a fee, they charge you twice.
Wise never hides fees in the exchange rate. We give you the real rate. Compare our rate and fee with our competitors and see the difference for yourself.
Beware of bad exchange rates.Banks and traditional providers often have extra costs, which they pass to you by marking up the exchange rate. Our smart tech means we’re more efficient – which means you get a great rate. Every time.
Simply type in the box how much you want to convert.

The only things that are more expensive in Jamaica are perishable items that need to be imported, like milk. According to Numbeo, a gallon of milk would cost around $10.24 in Jamaica (although you'll usually buy it by the liter).
You may bring into or take out of the country, including by mail, as much money as you wish. However, if it is more than $10,000, you will need to report it to CBP.
US Dollars are accepted in tourist areas, but if you pay with a note you'll receive Jamaica currency coins as change. This can often be at an unfavourable rate. So, if you're planning to explore less touristy places as part of your holiday, we recommend taking Jamaican Dollars to get the best prices.
