GraceKennedy Financial Group to Host Financial Empowerment Fair in Portmore, St. Catherine KINGSTON, JAMAICA – July 3, 2025
The GraceKennedy Financial Group (GKFG) is excited to announce the second staging of the GKFG Financial Fair, a dynamic community event set to deliver financial empowerment, expert guidance, and family-friendly fun to the people of Portmore.
Scheduled for Saturday, July 5 at PP3 Plaza, the event will bring together GKFG’s full suite of financial services and key national agencies, creating a one-stop hub for practical advice, real-time transactions, and accessible government services.
Designed to promote financial literacy and inclusion, the Fair will feature offerings from GKFG’s banking, insurance, investment, and money services businesses like its first successful staging in 2024 at Emancipation Park, St. Andrew.
A standout highlight of this edition will be the GK Money Sense financial literacy programme, which will reward attendees who open a simplified First Global Bank (FGB) savings account on-site with a J$2,500 deposit. Opening an account is simple, just bring a valid photo ID and TRN.
“We are incredibly delighted to bring the GraceKennedy Financial Fair to Portmore,” said GKFG CEO, Grace Burnett. “Our goal is to empower individuals and families with the knowledge and tools to achieve financial well-being and live gracefully. By bringing together our experts and national service providers, we’re creating a convenient and impactful experience that addresses a wide range of real-life needs.”
