Comparison guide
How to choose the right way to send remittances to Cuba
There's no one-size-fits-all option: compare the total price, the estimated delivery time, coverage and delivery method for your situation.
How to choose for your situation
Be clear about what matters most before you compare: delivery time, total cost, coverage or delivery method.
If total cost matters most
Check the final price and the exchange rate, not just an advertised fee.
If your family member prefers cash
Confirm that the province and municipality are included in the published coverage.
If the recipient has an MLC card
Check that the card and the bank are supported, then compare the delivery time and the amount received.

What is the best way to send money to Cuba?
It depends on your priority, amount, destination and enabled options. Compare the total cost and estimated timeframe for your case.
What should I look at when choosing a service?
Total price, exchange rate, estimated delivery time, available methods, coverage and support.
Is it faster to send to a card or in cash?
It depends on the transfer and the area. For cash in Havana, the published timeframe is 24–48 hours, Monday to Saturday; always check the specific estimate shown.
Is Bizum always the best option?
Not necessarily. Compare the enabled options, the final price and the conditions for your amount.
What difference does a €0 fee make?
An advertised fee doesn't necessarily reflect the total cost. Check the exchange rate too, and how much your recipient receives.
Is there a better service for all provinces?
Coverage varies. Confirm the province, the municipality and the delivery option before you pay.
How much does it cost to send a specific amount?
The cost depends on the amount, the conversion, the payment method and the delivery option. Use the calculator to see the current price.
