GREAT HARBOUR, Jost van Dyke, VI – Installation works have been completed on a new ATM on the sister island of Jost van Dyke, Premier and Minister of Finance Hon Andrew A. Fahie (R1) has revealed in a social media post.

The long-awaited ATM, affiliated with the National Bank of the Virgin Islands, was first announced on December 21, 2020, at a contract signing ceremony for the design of the new building to house the JvD Primary School on the island.

At the signing, the Premier said the commitment to opening new services on islands such as Jost can Dyke comes as part of the Government’s drive to have equal services provided to both the main island of Tortola and the sister islands.

"It cannot be that we are in the same BVI… and Tortola get the garbage truck and when it could barely move, they send it Virgin Gorda and when it could crawl you send it to Anegada and when it can't move at all you send it Jost van Dyke. Those days are gone," Premier Fahie said.

Promise made & delivered - Premier 

In a Tuesday, July 5, 2021, post, the Premier said the new ATM is a “Promise made. Promise kept. Promise Delivered.”

“Kudos to the National Bank of the Virgin Islands for providing banking facility on JvD for the first time ever with assistance from Your Government,” he said.

Approval for the ATM was granted at the level of Cabinet and under the Ministry of Natural Resources, Labour and Immigration for the location where the machine is located.

    So misleading AGAIN! Erecting an apparatus that is non operative is useless. The Main branch system has been in place pre-Irma and to this date, doesn't function - NEVER has. So how does that help us. Let's hope with this new move, we can now expect both systems to be up and running very soon.

    ATM's are great when they are regularly replenished and serviced and connected to reliable 24/7 power. ATM's are useless when not, like FirstBank's at Nanny Cay.

    It takes an approval from cabinet to get an ATM? The rest of the world has one in every grocery store, gas station, and mini shop! For a culture that is so cash based you would think getting cash would be easier? Seriously, why does it take a government action to get an ATM?????
