Cuban banks enable money transfers from abroad

The note outlined the correspondent banks of the Metropolitan, Popular Savings, and Credit and Commerce Banks, through which such transfers will be received.

In addition to insisting on the necessary clarity and accuracy of the beneficiary’s data in Cuba, it was specified that the number of remittance deliveries, to be credited to the accounts associated with the cards in USD, backed by freely convertible currency (MLC ), it does not have a preset limit, and it was recommended that to verify whether the transfer was received, the favoured person should check the balance of their account through one of the established electronic payment channels.

Such measures, as the Minister of Foreign Affairs, Bruno Rodríguez Parrilla has repeatedly denounced, make Cuban emigrants the only ones in the world who cannot afford this type of aid with their families, and constitute a sign of the insistence of the Government of The United States in harming the Cuban people.
