Banco de EEUU emite tarjeta de crédito para uso en Cuba

Americans traveling to Cuba can now use US credit cards, thanks to Stonegate Bank's MasterCard, which allows purchases in state and some private businesses. Previously, travelers had to rely on cash due to a 10% surcharge on currency exchange. This change is significant as the US embargo restricted financial transactions, including credit card use. Obama's 2014 policy changes allowed US companies to engage in financial transactions with Cuba, facilitating direct banking relations.
