Sending money to family or friends in Cuba can be simple when you have the right recipient information ready. Whether you are sending funds to a Cuban bank card or arranging a cash delivery, having accurate details helps ensure that your transfer can be processed correctly.
With DUC, you can send money to Cuba through different delivery options, including CUP and USD cash delivery, transfers to eligible Cuban cards, and mobile phone recharges. The information required can vary depending on the service you choose.
Why Is Recipient Information Important?
Before sending money, it is important to verify the recipient's information carefully. An incorrect name, card number, phone number, or delivery address can cause delays or prevent the transaction from being completed correctly.
The exact information required depends on how the recipient will receive the money. DUC's transfer process may require details such as the recipient's name, identification information, phone number, address, province, city, and other delivery details. For card transfers, card information and the corresponding bank details may also be required.

Information Needed for a Card Transfer
If you are sending money directly to a Cuban bank card, make sure you have the recipient's card information before starting the transaction.
Depending on the service, you may need:
- Recipient's full name
- Cuban bank card number
- Name of the cardholder
- Issuing bank
- Delivery currency
Double-Check the Card Number
The card number is one of the most important pieces of information in a card transfer. Before confirming the transaction, compare the number provided by the recipient with the information entered in DUC.
A single incorrect digit can result in the funds being sent to the wrong destination or cause the transaction to require additional processing.
Information Needed for Cash Delivery
If your recipient does not want to receive money through a bank card, DUC also offers cash delivery services in Cuba.
According to DUC's current information, the platform offers home delivery of CUP and USD, while EUR cash delivery is available specifically in Havana.
For a cash delivery, you should be prepared to provide information such as:
- Recipient's full name
- Phone number
- Home address
- Province
- City
- Additional delivery information, when requested
The address is particularly important because the delivery location determines where the money needs to be delivered. Providing complete and accurate information can help avoid unnecessary delays.
What About Mobile Phone Recharges?
If your goal is to send mobile credit rather than money for cash delivery or a bank card, the information needed is different.
DUC offers international mobile recharges, and its platform allows users to top up a phone or account using a phone number or email address, depending on the service.
Before sending a recharge, make sure you have the recipient's correct phone number and verify it before completing the transaction.

To make the process easier, ask your recipient for the necessary information before you begin.
