Maestro Vs MasterCard. Difference Between the two Debit Cards


People often tends to confuse Maestro cards with mastercards. They are actually two different type of cards used entirely for different purposes.

In India the default card issued from almost all banks are the Maestro cards. All nationalized banks including SBI Group of banks does the same. Maestro cards are useful to use for simple debit card usage like withdrawing money from atms. paying bills etc, but their transfer of funds is severely restricted and as such Maestro cards can not be used for Online Shopping, On-site bill payment etc

MasterCard Debit Card in turn facilitates transfer of funds in very dynamic manner. It is accepted all across the globe and can be used to different purposes like On Line and Retailer shopping. A MasterCard can be used wherever a MaestroCard can be used, Hence MasterCard is much more preferable than Maestro Cards

MasterCards are only issued to customers who specifically request for it. If you are presently own a Maestro Card and wants to get a MasterCard you will have to surrender your existing card to your bank and apply specifically for a new MasterCard.
Major banks in India may charge you a little if you are applying for a MasterCard. At present it is around Rs100


Update:  As some readers have pointed out Maestro cards are being accepted by some Indian Online retailers. But MasterCards remain the  standard for international money transactions

  8. i am a successful business owner and father. I got one of these already programmed blank ATM cards that allows me withdraw a maximum of $5,000 daily for 30 days. I am so happy about these cards because I received mine last week and have already used it to get $20,000. Skylink technology is giving out these cards to support people in any kind of financial problem. I must be sincere to you, when i first saw the advert, I believed it to be illegal and a hoax but when I contacted this team, they confirmed to me that although it is illegal, nobody gets caught while using these cards because they have been programmed to disable every communication once inserted into any Automated Teller Machine(ATM). If interested get through to them on mail: skylinktechnes@yahoo.com  or  whatsapp/telegram: +1(213)785-1553

  10. I was in so much debit and needed a way to clear it up because my life was in danger, then I saw comments about cloned ATM Credit Cards that can be programmed to hack into and withdraw money from any ATM machines around you . I doubted this but decided to give it a try by contacting {skylinktechnes@yahoo.com} they responded with their guidelines on how the card works. I was assured that the card can withdraw $5,000 instant per day and it had a usage limit of 12 months. So I requested one & paid the delivery fee to obtain the card, i was shocked to see the parcel{card} delivered at my doorstep. I picked it up and went back inside and confirmed the workings and genuinity of the card at the atm machine closest to me. This is no doubt because I have the card & have made use of the card countless times without any complaints. These hackers are USA based hackers set out to help people with financial freedom!!
