Published

on

“Lynk is currently focusing on peer-to-peer digital cash exchange and enabling customers to purchase from their favourite micro-merchants.This will give us much insight into customer behaviour as we continue to garner feedback from the public and get ready to expand our services to larger merchants and introduce features such as bill payments, mobile top-ups and cash-in/cash-out at NCB iABMs across the Island, in the coming month. With the inclusion of the Jam-Dex wallet in the Lynk eco-system, will only serve to widen the possibilities and bring even more convenience to the Jamaican public as we continue to expand our features towards our vision of becoming a financial super app. In addition to utilizing Lynk to send and receive money, Lynkies (Lynk users) will also be able to access Jam-Dex as another form of currency in their Lynk wallet once Jam-Dex is launched and the currency made available to the public. With us adding an additional J$250 welcome bonus for each new customer, we encourage customers to sign up to Lynk before the April 1 date so that customers can familiarize themselves with Lynk and learn how it easily fits into their everyday life while securing their space in line as one of the 100,000 people who will receive the Jam-Dex J$2,500 that Minister Clarke announced,”

Published

Sophronia, who is an avid fine diner, believes in savoring the moment of each meal – starting with her eyes. Little did she realize that her passion for the total dining experience would lead to something great. For Sophronia everything from being able to accurately picture orders to enjoying delicious flavour from a well-presented plate would prove important to everything visuEats could become. Sophronia recalls that the lightbulb went off one day while at happy hour with her best friend.

That happy hour conversation became the spark that would move the visuEats story forward. Following happy hour, Sophronia connected with a friend and UX designer to put in pictures what Sophronia had in mind. Thereafter, Sophronia would source a developer and conduct a beta launch. The rest, as it were, is HER story. visuEats has gone on to become a reality and have had some key milestones along the way.
