Mastercard and Visa will typically work for over-the-counter cash withdrawals, but be aware that some card brands won\u2019t work at all. Generally speaking, credit cards will not work in Cuba.<\/p><p>Although no prepaid travel cards currently support Cuban pesos, preloading a currency with a good history against the Cuban pesos could be beneficial. While there are travel cards that don\u2019t charge for currency conversion, it is important to consider the back-end fees, exchange rate and if you want to manage an extra account.<\/p><p>As we mentioned before, cards can work in some places and not in others. This is why it\u2019s important to spread your funds across a couple of different types of travel money options. Take as much cash as you can to Cuba and use a debit card when you need more money.<\/p><h3>These are your options for spending money in Cuba<\/h3><p>Here are some benefits and disadvantages of using different types of travel money products in Cuba.<\/p><h4 id=\"debit-cards\"><i class=\"icon-debit-cards-solid icon-size-large\"><\/i> Using a credit card<\/h4><p>Where credit cards are accepted, Visa and Mastercard credit cards will give you no problem making purchases or withdrawals from ATMs in Cuba. Look for a card that waives foreign transaction fees. Generally, not many places accept credit cards in Cuba, so you\u2019ll want to focus more on access to cash.<\/p><div class=\"u-grid u-grid--gutterCollapse\"><div class=\"u-grid__col u-1\/2@s u-1\/1\"><h5>Pros<\/h5><ul class=\"list-1\"><li>Protected by PIN and chip<\/li><li>Access to funds within your credit limit<\/li><li>Accepted worldwide<\/li><li>No currency conversion or transaction fees<\/li><li>Rewards points and frequent flyer perks<\/li><li>Emergency card replacement<\/li><\/ul><\/div><div class=\"u-grid__col u-1\/2@s u-1\/1\"><h5>Cons<\/h5><ul class=\"list-12\"><li>High withdrawal and cash advance fees<\/li><li>Spending depends on credit limit<\/li><\/ul><\/div><\/div>\n<div id=\"lazy0000000001\"><\/div>\n<script type=\"application\/json\" id=\"lazyloaded-assets-json-lazy0000000001\" class=\"lazyloaded-assets-json\">{\"critical-scripts\":[],\"scripts\":[],\"styles\":[\"https:\\\/\\\/www.finder.com\\\/parent-theme\\\/shortcodes\\\/arrow-link\\\/prod\\\/arrow-link.b54cdc282fcfbd8bdad2.css\"]}<\/script><h4 id=\"debit-cards\"><i class=\"icon-debit-cards-solid icon-size-large\"><\/i> Using a debit card<\/h4><p>If you\u2019re going to use a debit card when you\u2019re on vacation, paying the extra fee for currency conversion may be unavoidable.<\/p><div class=\"u-grid u-grid--gutterCollapse\"><div class=\"u-grid__col u-1\/2@s u-1\/1\"><h5>Pros<\/h5><ul class=\"list-1\"><li>Save on overseas ATM fees<\/li><li>Emergency cash facilities<\/li><li>Ideal for managing your travel budget<\/li><li>Unlimited free withdrawals at selected banks<\/li><\/ul><\/div><div class=\"u-grid__col u-1\/2@s u-1\/1\"><h5>Cons<\/h5><ul class=\"list-12\"><li>Currency conversion and international ATM fees<\/li><li>Can\u2019t be used over the counter<\/li><li>No emergency cash<\/li><li>No backup cards<\/li><\/ul><\/div><\/div>\n<div id=\"lazy0000000002\"><\/div>\n<h4 id=\"debit-cards\"><i class=\"icon-debit-cards-solid icon-size-large\"><\/i> Using a prepaid card<\/h4><p>No travel cards support the Cuban peso, so look for a card that waives the currency conversion fee.
