In recent years, the microfinance sector in Jamaica has achieved significant growth, and has established itself as a prime area of employment generation for the Jamaican economy. As such, JN Small Business Loans Limited (JNSBL), one of the leaders in the sector, plays a major role in stimulating economic growth from the “base of the pyramid.”

JNSBL, which operates from thirty-five locations across the island, continues to be innovative and proactive in its approach to meeting and exceeding the financial requirements of its clients.
