difference between Maestro & Visa Debit?
hiya, Can anyone explain to me the difference between a Switch/Maestro card and a Visa Debit card, please? It sounds like it could be exactly same product but different brand :P Not sure though so would like clarification. Would shops accept either? What about cash machines that will accept Visa Debit? Thanks in advance.
