With the Carnival season on the horizon, excitement reaches a fever pitch as McKayla Financial Services, a subsidiary of Supreme Ventures Limited (SVL), and GenX Carnival gear up to ignite the festivities. Following their previously announced partnership, both entities, with their shared commitment to community engagement and cultural celebration, are now eagerly anticipating the imminent Carnival season. As the countdown to Carnival begins, their joint initiative has empowered revellers to fully embrace the spirit of Carnival like never before.
For many masqueraders, the prospect of fully participating in the celebrations often hinges on their ability to afford their desired costumes. In response to this challenge, McKayla Financial has introduced innovative micro-loan solutions, ensuring that financial constraints no longer stand in the way of Carnival enjoyment. Through this strategic partnership with GenX Carnival, the Company aims to democratise the Carnival experience, empowering individuals from all walks of life to don their costumes with pride and join in the vibrant celebrations.
Nanisha, Business Development Officer of McKayla Financial Services, expressed delight at the uptake in the loan trend, stating, "The response to our micro-loan solutions has been phenomenal. It's truly heartwarming to see so many people seizing the opportunity to embrace Carnival without financial constraints."
The seamless process of securing desired costumes has garnered praise from masqueraders, who can now fully immerse themselves in the excitement of Carnival festivities.
One thrilled participant shared, "I couldn't be happier! I eagerly anticipate Carnival every year, but this time, it seemed out of reach. When I heard about McKayla's initiative, I knew I had to seize the opportunity. Some people enjoy parties; others prefer casual hangouts; but for me, Carnival holds a special place. This collaboration between McKayla and GenX is truly significant."
Beyond Carnival season, McKayla Financial remains committed to meeting the diverse needs of the community. Its annual back-to-school promotion, designed to provide support to families across Jamaica, exemplifies this dedication. Since becoming part of the Supreme Ventures Group in 2020, McKayla Financial has experienced remarkable growth, boasting an 485% increase in its loan portfolio.
Furthermore, McKayla Financial's acquisition of the Bank of Jamaica Microfinance Licence underscores its credibility and commitment to excellence. The Company's expansion of its human capital, with the addition of new sales executives, has further contributed to its success. Impressively, McKayla Financial has already surpassed its sales projections to date for 2024, a testament to its unwavering focus on customer satisfaction and financial empowerment.
In addition to introducing new loan products tailored to better serve its customers, McKayla Financial continues to forge strategic partnerships. Its annual back-to-school promotion, in collaboration with partners such as Sangster's Bookstore, remains highly anticipated by customers. Additionally, the overwhelming response to McKayla Financial's inaugural Christmas promotion last year underscores its impact on enhancing the lives of its customers.
Looking ahead, McKayla Financial is steadfast in its commitment to its mission of making life easier for others, whether for individuals seeking to enjoy themselves during
festive occasions or for parents and students in need of financial assistance. By continuing to innovate and collaborate, McKayla Financial strives to uplift communities and enrich lives throughout Jamaica.
Nanisha Lee, emphasised, "Our partnership demonstrates our versatility and genuine concern for the community. We consistently prepare for various seasons, whether it's carnival, back to school, or any other occasion. Collaborating with GENX and others showcases our dedication to the community, and we are immensely honoured to contribute to people's transformative experiences," she asserted.
As McKayla Financial and GenX Carnival unite, they are poised to create an unforgettable Carnival season, igniting the spirit of celebration across Jamaica. Together, they aim to ensure that everyone can partake in the excitement and cultural richness of Carnival, regardless of financial constraints.
