Cuban financial giant Fincimex has announced new discounts for purchases made with its AIS cards in the past few hours. We tell you everything you need to know in this article.

What are AIS cards? AIS (American International Service) cards are a type of debit card issued by Fincimex. They are denominated in Cuban pesos and dollars.

FINCIMEX AIS Cards Discounts

“Offer: 5% discount at Cimex and Caribe stores on November 25th and 26th”, They communicated Via Facebook.

One of the sites under contract with Fincimex echoed this ad:

“Discounts are back on AIS UST cards. Save your money. This bonus is available now and will be available throughout the weekend at CIMEX and Tiendas Caribe’s MLC stores. Remember that you can request and recharge AIS USD cards from anywhere in the world www.tocopay.com“, they said.

These types of cards already have low priority on the island, as they can only be recharged by sending money online. Also, they cannot integrate with Cuban banks through the Transfermóvil application.

Three years ago, the Cuban financial institution announced that it would be able to link its cards to the main electronic commerce application on the island in partnership with the Cuban Telecommunications Company. “The integration process is complex, however, we hope to be able to announce it soon,” they promised in March 2021.
