Edmundo Jenez began his professional career at the Posts & Telecommunications Department of the GOJ where he served four years (1983-1987) as the Senior Telecommunications Engineer. In 1987, Mr. Jenez moved on to Citibank (1987-1995) handling the support of the bank’s systems as the Head of the Technology Department. He was engaged in several large-scale projects including the multi-national efforts of Citibank to successfully integrate the systems of some 17 countries into a single regional system.
Since December 1995 Mr. Jenez has been engaged as the General Manager of J.E.T.S. Limited. Under his leadership J.E.T.S. Limited was established to provide common shared platforms for Electronic Banking Services by Jamaica's leading Financial Institutions.
Mr. Jenez headed the team that delivered the company's first service, the MultiLink ABM sharing network, in June 1997. This was later followed by introduction of the Debit/Point of Sale network in April 1999. These two services today now feature a shared network of over 550 ABM and over 20,000 POS terminals, dispensing over JMD$78 Billion dollars per annum. Mr. Jenez also participated in the development and introduction of the Automated Clearing House (ACH) system in 2002. The ACH reduced cheque clearing time by 50% with equally significant elimination of processing costs. This platform was enhanced by the addition of the Electronic Origination network in 2006 which established the infrastructure to electronically move debits and credits between customer accounts of any of the participating commercial banks. Altogether the ACH systems handle around JMD$2.5 Trillion per annum.
Mr. Jenez also has significant involvement in the development of a Credit Bureau Service for the Jamaican Financial Services Sector. His contributions includes work on the initial drafts of what is now the Credit Reporting Act 2010 and the design of a credit reporting system architecture specific to the needs of countries like Jamaica.
Mr. Jenez holds a bachelor’s degree in Electrical Engineering (BSc. UWI) and a Masters in Business Administration (MBA, Barry).
