Leading Jamaican banks are assuring account holders and other users of banking services that their savings and investments will be safe and that they will be able to get cash and access other financial services in the event of a major catastrophe, such as a serious earthquake or hurricane. There are also regulatory provisions in place by the country's central bank to ensure that banks and other financial entities put disaster-preparedness measures in place to physically protect the plant and banking information (electronic and paper-based), as well as ensure that they can become operational as soon as possible after a disaster. Head of services at RBTT, Sean Parris, says that entity has an elaborate system of protective mechanisms, including alternative processing facilities in Montego Bay, St James, and offshore, that capture and preserve all banking information. He said RBTT also has a detailed business continuity plan to ensure that the bank can carry on its operations in the face of a disaster, that is constantly reviewed and updated. |
