✅ Supportable via QvaPay

Back Havana MIPYME Cluster the compliant way: OFAC-authorized remittances and payments routed through QvaPay wallets (QUSD) directly to licensed private entrepreneurs. No equity, no state counterparty — settlement never touches GAESA, FINCIMEX, or a Cuban state bank.

Clean title — no Helms-Burton/Title III overhang. U.S. participation is via OFAC-authorized remittances & payments through QvaPay (31 CFR §515.570(g) / §515.582), NOT equity in the Cuban entity; equity is taken only in U.S.-side vehicles. CACR bars U.S.-person equity in Cuban entities (§515.201; §515.570 Note 1; OFAC FAQ 758).

Not legal or investment advice. U.S. sanctions restrict Cuba investment to the licensed independent private sector. Every transaction is KYC'd, OFAC-SDN & Cuba Restricted List screened, confirmed as an independent private entity (≤100 employees), and subject to OFAC counsel. No money flows to state, JV, GAESA, Restricted-List or confiscated-property counterparties.
