Better Homes and Gardens Real Estate Jamaica is designated as a DNFI for the purposes of the ACT and Regulations. A Nominated Officer has been appointed to ensure the implementation of the ACT and the Caribbean Financial Action Task Force (CFATF) programmes, policies, controls and reporting activities.
