Maestro
Maestro is a brand of debit card issued by Mastercard.
Maestro cards can be used for in-store payments and for withdrawing cash at ATMs. It often requires on-line electronic authorisation for every transaction, although Mastercard's rules permit the establishment of floor limits on Maestro EMV chip transactions only.
