Cuba and Visa electron?

[staffs knot]

Are visa electron debit cards from Halifax Bank accepted in Cuba?

I think a normal visa card would be ok, but probably not electron. It's probably easiest if you check with your bank, just to be sure.

The advice here:-http://www.cashpassportcard.com/visa/FAQvisa_u singthecard.asp?content=vi#2

states "We recommend that you do not use your Visa or Visa Electron Pre-paid card in Iran, Iraq, Cuba, Libya or Sudan"

I know it's not the Halifax version, but I would of thought the rules for the card were the same whoever the provider was.
