The Central Bank of Cuba has published an update on free home delivery of pension cash through the Popular Savings Bank (BPA), a service that began in October. Although national in scope, availability remains limited by local delivery capacity. Eligibility is restricted to retirees holding BPA pension payment cards, excluding those receiving pension checks through Cuba's postal service. The option complements existing priority service at branches and remote balance checks for pension cardholders. BPA's Nueva Gerona office reported that deliveries reached 1,507 local retirees in the first month through bank employees working outside normal hours and three participating micro, small and medium-sized enterprises. The bank pays the delivery providers, with no charge to beneficiaries. Interested retirees must visit their nearest BPA branch to arrange assignment of a nearby bank employee. Employee deliveries are limited to areas close to their homes, and extending coverage to remote communities would require more businesses to participate.
