Natwest/RBS 'Maestro/Solo' words are not

The Natwest/RBS website doesn't say 'Maestro/Solo' on their website when describing the debit cards. Why is this?

They should keep the words 'Maestro/Solo' on until September at least. After that, they could change it to 'VISA debit'.

    I believe in the last terms and conditions book they amended the wording so instead of naming specific cards they use the generic 'debit card or MFC' etc. This is probably a legal thing with the change over to issue RBS Visa etc.

    Yeah I was sent a copy of the new T's and C's in the post a few days ago, went staight in the bin promptly. If all I would gain from reading it is that they don't call the card by it's name then I'm glad I binned it.

    There is on my pc. It shows a Servicecard (Maestro), which appears to be black or very dark blue. In the top left hand corner it says NatWest and the logo, with Servicecard 100 beneath this. In the top right hand corner it shows the Maestro logo.

    Beneath this is a Cashcard (Solo), which is a lilac colour with a black/dark blue strip along the top, NatWest and logo with Cashcard written underneath and the Solo logo top right.

    If you can't see this then it must be due to the settings on your pc.

    That's because you are using firefox. Shows up fine in IE.

    Yes, that's the correct page, but with Internet Explorer the paragraphs are squashed up towards the left and the pictures of the cards are on the right hand side, between the wording and the "find a cash machine" box.

    I don't know how to copy the page and post it here, otherwise I would do.
