Currency
The national currency in Cuba is the Cuban Peso
(CUP). One Cuban Peso is equivalent to 100 cents. The
exchange of freely convertible currencies (foreign currency, except US Dollar
which is not accepted) for Cuban peso (CUP), is carried out at airports, banks,
hotels, exchange houses (CADECA) and shopping malls; always respecting the
current exchange rate of the different currencies according to the fluctuation
in the world market. There is also a large infrastructure of banking services
throughout the national territory that includes the network of Banks and ATM.
All common credit cards (Visa, Mastercard, etc) are accepted almost
everywhere. Credit cards and debit cards issued
by U.S. banks cannot be used in Cuba
