Jamaica’s network of automated banking machines (ABMs) remains largely stable at 2.0 per cent below pre-Hurricane Melissa levels, but some parishes in the storm’s path are yet to recover.

The total fleet contracted from 904 machines in September 2025 to 887 in April 2026, Bank of Jamaica data show, with machines in St Elizabeth declining 13 per cent and St James down 5.0 per cent.

The figures, published monthly by the central bank, suggest the island has not yet recovered its pre-storm banking infrastructure footprint, even as the proportion of operational machines has stabilised. In March 2026, the total fleet stood at 879 before edging up marginally to 887 in April.
