Why did Mastercard put Cuba as a restricted country?
September 12th, 2008 | by admin |WONDERFUL WORLD asked:
I visited Cuba last year in August and could use Mastercard. I returned to visit Cuba this month of January and when trying to access it in Cuba the machine read “Restricted country”. On my return I checked with my local bank and was told it was the mother company that made that decision to put Cuba as a restricted country this January 2009. why is that? How could I contact Mastercard headquarters?
It is not because Cuba is a communist country. What about China? Yet America is making lots of trade with the Chinese. I have hopes that President Obama will cancel then stupid embargo the US government has on Cuba.
