The government has partnered with digital wallet provider Lynk to facilitate payments.
The company says just fewer than 100 workers in two St. Andrew constituencies were involved in a pilot of government funds disbursements.
The pilot, in partnership with the Bank of Jamaica and the Constituency Development Fund, tested the issuing of large payments through the Lynk app.
Chief Product Officer of Lynk, John-Matthew Sinclair, says the pilot is a guide for integrating JAMDEX as a method of payment for government workers and welfare programmes.
He says the process of sensitisation, information distribution, onboarding and recruiting businesses to accept digital payments via Lynk began in early October.
December marks a year since the digital wallet has been in operation.
