Residents of Jost Van Dyke, BVI have seen the instillation of a promised ATM machine, the first on the sister island to date.
Premier and leader of Government business, Minister of Finance the Hon. Andrew A Fahie in a Facebook post said, “Jost Van Dyke gets an ATM. Promise made. Promise kept. Promise Delivered. Kudos to the the National Bank of the Virgin Islands for providing banking facility on JVD for the first ever with assistance from Your Government. This was long long long needed. To GOD alone be all the GLORY!!!”
It is unclear how soon the ATM machine which is installed on the premises of the Albert H. Chinnery Administration building will be in full operation.
The ATM machine was promised to residents at a Community Meeting held by legislators in October of 2020 where residents expressed dissatisfaction with the lack of banking services on the island.
