Who converts USD to CUP?
The 2.4 million Cuban diaspora in Florida and New Jersey sending family remittances, plus tourists from Canada, Spain, and Mexico converting at CADECA booths inside Havana hotels.
Best way to send USD to Cuba?
Western Union resumed limited Cuba service in 2023; VaCuba, CubaMax, and Fonmoney handle MLC (foreign-currency) card top-ups that bypass the CUP rate entirely. Direct bank wires remain blocked by US Treasury OFAC sanctions.
Why are there two USD-CUP rates?
Cuba unified its old CUC system in 2021 but quickly developed a parallel informal market because the official 24 rate doesn't reflect dollar scarcity. The street rate exceeded 370 by 2026 as the economic crisis deepened.
