Whether they were exploring the possibility of buying their first home or planning their next property investment, hundreds of Jamaicans visited CIBC Caribbean’s booths at the National Housing Trust (NHT) Home It Expo 2026, held at Emancipation Park in Kingston and Harmony Beach Park in Montego Bay, seeking practical advice and financing solutions to help make homeownership a reality.

As one of the participating financial institutions, CIBC Caribbean connected prospective homeowners with experienced mortgage specialists who provided one-on-one guidance on navigating the home-buying process and identifying financing options tailored to their individual needs.

A major focus of the bank’s participation was its current “Come Home to the Life You’ve Imagined” mortgage promotion, designed to make homeownership more rewarding for eligible customers.  The limited-time offer features a range of benefits, including:

• Up to J$400,000 cashback
• Up to 100% financing*
• Repayment terms of up to 35 years*
• Waived loan application fee
• A housewarming gift
• A pre-approved CIBC Caribbean credit card with 5,000 bonus reward points
• Home insurance available through the Bank’s insurance partners
• An interest-free EasyCover loan* to finance home insurance premiums in up to 11 monthly instalments.

Visitors also received information on the bank’s mortgage solutions, financing options and the support available throughout every stage of the home-buying journey, from purchasing a first home to financing a new property.

Renee Whitehorne, Marketing Manager, CIBC Caribbean Jamaica, said the expo provided an important opportunity to meet prospective homeowners at different stages of their journey and demonstrate how the bank can help remove some of the barriers to homeownership.

“Buying a home is one of the most significant financial decisions many people will ever make, and we understand that customers are looking for more than financing—they’re looking for trusted advice, flexibility and a banking partner who understands their goals. The NHT Home It Expo gave us the opportunity to have those important conversations and introduce visitors to a mortgage offer designed to make taking that next step even more rewarding.”

Whitehorne said the strong response at both locations reflected continued demand for practical financial guidance and competitive mortgage solutions. “We were delighted to engage with so many prospective homeowners in Kingston and Montego Bay. Many visitors came with questions about affordability, financing options and the home-buying process, and our team was able to provide personalised guidance while introducing them to benefits that can make purchasing a home easier and more affordable. Helping our clients move confidently toward homeownership is one of the many ways we bring our brand promise of Ambitions Made Real to life. 

The NHT Home It Expo brought together developers, contractors, real estate professionals, suppliers and financial institutions, creating a one-stop destination where Jamaicans could access the expertise, products and services needed to make informed homeownership decisions.

For CIBC Caribbean, participating in both the Kingston and Montego Bay events reinforced the bank’s commitment to helping more Jamaicans access practical financial solutions through expert advice, competitive mortgage products and customer-focused service.
