BREAKING FINANCIAL BARRIERS FOR ALL JAMAICANS
Christopher Barrett

CHRISTOPHER
PAUL BARRETT
Founder

Christopher Paul Barrett founded Sprint Financial Services in 2011 after observing the great number of small business operators in Jamaica who were under-served by the banking industry. With entrepreneurs and persons from lower-income households being typically unable to access cash loans from big banks, Barrett decided to fill this void by entering the micro-finance sector and providing financial solutions that he believed would empower individuals and, ultimately, better the economy.

Barrett started out with a background in aviation before making the transition to entrepreneurship. He holds a Bachelor’s degree in Aviation Flight Management from Florida Memorial College, and has served as a certified flight instructor for Florida’s ADF Airways and as a pilot in the capacity of first officer for Air Jamaica.

He later opened his first business Global Courier Services in 2002. The company, which capitalised on the emerging online shopping trend,

provided U.S. mailbox-delivery services for Jamaicans locally who desired making purchases at international stores but did not have access to a U.S. credit card, a U.S. mailing address or the means to have the package delivered to the island. Five years after its inception, Barrett would successfully steer the pioneering business to become the second-largest courier company of its kind in Jamaica.

Today, Barrett has made Sprint Financial Services a formidable force in the industry by offering a suite of loans catering to all individuals for all purposes while focusing on convenience. He is a member of the Jamaica Association Of Micro-finance (JAMFIN) and boasts being the first person in Jamaica to introduce recreational loans to the public and to institute remote application and repayment options in the industry.

Testimonials

"I thank Sprint Financial Services for my success. Before going to Sprint, business was very challenging because lending companies didn’t want to take the chance with me because of my age. Only one other company was willing to take a chance with me but their process is not as simple as Sprint. I’ve been with them for 3 years now, have had several loans and is enjoying a comfortable lifestyle. Thanks Again Sprint.
- Yvonne James
"I almost had to close my shop last year because we ran out off things to sell. I heard about Sprint Financial from a friend who she said they helped her with a loan when no one else would. I applied over 2 years ago and still use there services. They are very professional and understanding. I got the loan the next day and I did not even have to leave the shop, they came to me, it was so easy. I don’t know what I would have done if Sprint was not there when I needed help. I thank them so much.
- Lilly Brown

Nuff a mi friend use Sprint and me can see why.
