KINGSTON, Jamaica — A transformative partnership between GraceKennedy Payment Services (GKPS) and TransJamaican Highway has revolutionized toll payment accessibility across Jamaica. The collaboration enables motorists to replenish their T-Tag accounts through all Bill Express locations nationwide, significantly expanding payment options for highway users.
The strategic alliance introduces near real-time payment processing for commuters utilizing the Portmore, Spanish Town, Old Harbour, and May Pen highway segments. Terence Slater, Regional Manager of GKPS, characterized the initiative as “convenience redefined” for TransJam Highway users, emphasizing the unprecedented accessibility through Bill Express’s extensive network spanning Western Union outlets, post offices, pharmacies, and supermarkets.
Transaction efficiency stands as a cornerstone of the new service. Customers simply require the 16-character identifier from their T-Tag sticker or swipe card to complete top-ups, with immediate confirmation provided for each transaction. The system ensures lane access readiness within 10 minutes of payment processing, streamlining the commuter experience.
The partnership assumes particular significance following Hurricane Melissa’s devastating impact on alternative routes. TransJamaican Highway Managing Director Ivan Anderson noted the toll road’s critical role in restoring normalcy, stating the collaboration “delivers reliable access that keeps Jamaica moving” during this period of heightened connectivity needs.
Margaret Campbell, CEO of GraceKennedy Money Services, affirmed the company’s commitment to “meeting Jamaicans where they are,” highlighting the initiative’s alignment with innovation and service excellence principles. The rollout will further expand in coming weeks through additional Bill Express channels, offering motorists progressively more convenient account management solutions.
