Our main language is English, but most European languages are catered for in Jersey.

While we use the British pound and the Jersey pound (valued 1:1) as our main currency, we accept all major currencies for transactions.

Our status as a Crown Dependency allows everyone to benefit from an IFC that’s close to, but independent from, Britain and mainland Europe. As such Jersey law is different to that of the UK.

Our population and our government consider education to be vital to the Island, and we make sure that both children and adults are set up for positive futures.

A large proportion of Islanders work together in our finance and supporting industries, meaning our talent is both homegrown and ready to provide a world-class service.

Jersey is actively encouraging the growth of fintech initiatives, meaning they can provide quality support and a dynamic future for a finance industry.

We have world-leading business communications links, including high-speed telecommunications (the 2^rd fastest broadband in the world*), together with cutting-edge information technology and postal services.

Jersey’s history has been a colourful one. The Island’s economy has evolved from the days of thriving knitting, boat building and fishing industries, to successes in agriculture, tourism and finance; the latter which now provides around 54% of the Island’s revenue.
