The street Jamaican dollar rate, as a feed your business can use
EMpulse publishes the rate people actually pay for US dollars in Jamaican dollars, with a confidence class and the number of sources shown on every figure.
Today's street rate for the Jamaican dollar
As of 2026-11-08, the street rate for the US dollar in Jamaica is 151.7 JMD per USD, according to the EMpulse Street FX Index (3 sources, confidence medium).
The task: price and pay in US dollars without guessing the rate
If you import goods, pay suppliers in US dollars or price in Jamaican dollars against a dollar cost, the rate you budget with matters. The official reference and the rate you end up paying can differ, and that gap lands in your margin. You need one dated figure to put in quotes, invoices and reports, and a history to see how the gap moves.
How the index helps
EMpulse builds the street rate from transaction-based market data and quotes from independent public market sources. Every figure carries a confidence class and the number of sources behind it, so you can see how firm the number is before you use it. Pull it through the API with a free key, load it into your pricing sheet or ERP, and compare it with the official rate to track the premium over time.

Questions from finance and procurement teams
- What is the street rate?
- It is the exchange rate people actually pay when they buy US dollars with Jamaican dollars, as opposed to a published official reference. EMpulse shows it next to a confidence class and the number of sources.
- How do I get the rate into my own systems?
- Create a free API key and request the Jamaican dollar rate against the US dollar. The same key works from a script, a spreadsheet or your accounting and pricing tools. The plans below show what each level includes.
- What do the confidence class and the source count mean?
- They tell you how well supported a figure is. A higher class with more sources means the number rests on broader evidence. A lower class means you should treat it with more care.
- Is this financial or investment advice?
- No. EMpulse is a reference index for pricing, budgeting and reporting. It does not tell you when to buy or sell any currency.
