How the campaign works
We want to mobilise large numbers of bank customers to send small transactions, even as small as 1 cent/1 pence from UK or European bank accounts, using reference words or destinations that are likely to trigger the banks’ sanctions mechanisms against Cuba.
Each small transaction, and subsequent complaint process, can create a burden of administrative work for the bank at minimal cost to the customer.
When combined in large quantities, these small transactions have the potential to create an unmanageable quantity of work for the banks and so make the US blockade of Cuba too costly to enforce.
