ONLY ADVANTAGES: MONEY TRANSFER TO Cuba VIA SENDVALU

  • Convenient: Sending money to one of 455 cash payout locations in Cuba or to an AIS Card or AIS USD Card is so easy and straightforward.
  • Fast: We recommend the transfer to an existing AIS Debit Card - one of the most common methods of payment in Cuba. As a rule, the money is credited to the recipient's AIS Card on the same or next working day, so that you can send money at short notice that is guaranteed to arrive. By comparison, standard bank transfers to Cuba usually take several days or even weeks.
  • Decide on which AIS card you transfer money. The established blue AIS USD card can be used as payment method in many Cuban shops. In addition, this card can be used to withdraw cash in CUC at all ATMs. The green AIS USD card allows your recipients to pay in special shops with freely convertible currencies (MLC), which have been opened in Havana and other provinces of Cuba for the sale of household appliances and other items. With this card, cash in CUC can alo be withdrawn from ATMs.
