What is Maestro?

mae - stro
noun


Maestro is a brand of debit card issued by Mastercard, widely used for electronic transactions and purchases. It is accepted at millions of locations globally and is often linked to the cardholder's bank account for direct fund withdrawals.

How does Maestro work?

Maestro cards work by providing a convenient and secure means of electronic payment. When a Maestro card is used for a transaction, the cardholder's account is verified, and the necessary funds are transferred electronically. Maestro cards can be used at various points of sale, online retailers, and ATMs, offering users a versatile and widely accepted method for accessing their funds and making purchases. 

The security features of Maestro, including PIN authentication, contribute to the protection of the cardholder's financial information during transactions.
