What happened to the AIS card?

The AIS card is processed through FINCIMEX — an entity on the U.S. sanctions list since May 2026. That's why we've removed the product from our offering. Here are the two articles that explain the background and show how you can still send to Cuba:

What was the AIS card?

The AIS card (American International Services) was a debit card issued by FINCIMEX (Financiera CIMEX S.A.) for Cuba. There were two variants: the AIS MLC (green card) and the AIS USD. Both allowed purchases at MLC stores and cash withdrawals at ATMs in Cuba.

Fonmoney no longer offers AIS card recharges or creation. As alternatives, the following are still available: MLC card (bank card with MLC credit), cash delivery (USD, 2–5 business days) and bank transfers (MLC, to BANDEC/BPA/Banco Metropolitano).

Frequently asked questions about the AIS card

▶ Can I still recharge an AIS card with Fonmoney?

No. Fonmoney no longer offers recharges or creation of AIS cards. The service has been permanently discontinued.

▶ What alternatives are there to the AIS card?

You can continue to support your family in Cuba with Fonmoney: via the MLC card (bank card with MLC credit), cash delivery (USD, 2–5 business days) or a bank transfer to an MLC account at BANDEC, BPA or Banco Metropolitano.

▶ Can the recipient still use their AIS card in Cuba?

Existing credit on an AIS card may still be usable. Fonmoney has no influence over this — usage in Cuba depends on local conditions.

▶ What is the difference between an MLC card and an AIS card?

The AIS card was issued by FINCIMEX, while the MLC card is issued by Cuban banks (BPA, BANDEC, Banco Metropolitano). The MLC card is still available and works at MLC stores in Cuba.

▶ What is the fastest way to send money to Cuba now?

The fastest option is cash delivery to Cuba (USD, 2–5 business days). For regular support, the MLC card is ideal. All options are available at Cuba services on Fonmoney.

Every month I send money to my sister's MLC card. With Fonmoney Cuba it takes just a few clicks — the balance arrives within 24 hours.

The bank transfer to Cuba took two days, and my family got a text as soon as the money arrived. With Fonmoney I know it gets there.
