There are several ways to financially help our friends there.
1) Charge their cell phone which allows them not to have to pay to use this very useful service for them

2) Prepaid bank cards
The current problem is that the ideal is to bring it there yourself. Here is what one member shared: " For the prepaid card, you apply here. I made it in my name and brought it to Cuba. It costs me $7 per year and I transfer the $$ I want to my Desjardins app whenever I want . "
One person told us that it is best to notify the banking institution in advance if the transfer amount is large.
3) Desjardins international transfers
A member tells us that "Desjardins International Transfer works. First contact your Caisse to activate the option and create the file of the person to send the money. " There may be amount limits. The Cuban person must always leave 50 pesos in their account otherwise the bank closes their account.
Also shared by a member: "You can always do an international Interac transfer ... if the person in Cuba has a bank account. You enter your friend's banking information ... and you contact your banking institution so that they accept the international Interac transfer. "
The explanations are very clear: https://www.canadapost.ca/web/fr/kb/details.page?article=transfer_money_world&cattype=kb&cat=atthepostoffice&subcat=services
Sendvalu (Swiss Money Transfer): The person you are sending money to must have an IAS card, a type of debit card issued by a Cuban bank. You will need the person's exact name, date of birth, address and ID number.
