Hi I am travelling to cuba soon and need travellers cheques not issued by American express. Does anyone know why I can buy visa travellers cheques, ideally from a shop/bank I prefer not to by online.

Thanks

    Why do you need travellers cheques ?

    If you're going to a resort (?) then you can pay in Euros (I think)

    If not then use your debit card in the ATMS to get Cuban pesos.

    We went to Cuba last summer, we changed our money at the hotel, or drew it out of the cash point. I don't think you can get the currency before hand and you can not bring it out of the country. I would not worry too much about getting travellers checks beforehand.
    No Matter what you do there will be critics.
