Maya Rkell	Posted - 2006.04.24 19:26:00 - [1] Edited by: Maya Rkell on 24/04/2006 19:27:02 Yes, there is marginally more fraud with Switch/Maestro. But that's going to be more than mde up in people who can now play who previously had issues - especialy those shafted by the PBC paypal fiasco. In the UK, very very few retailers do not support Switch/Maestro. A significant number don't support Electron/Delta, mind you.

Maya Rkell	Posted - 2006.04.24 19:34:00 - [2] Originally by: Andrue Debit cards have often been restricted like that. My theory is that it's because debit cards hit your current account immediately. That means they are like a blank cheque. DD fraud can leave you without any money. So what? From CCP's perspective we're talking small payment amounts. Because suspicious activity DOES get noticed like with a CC...

Maya Rkell	Posted - 2006.04.24 20:07:00 - [3] So charge a 2.5% processing fee or whatever. The rest really ISN'T of interest to the merchant, and many banks insure for debt on a debit card too.

Maya Rkell	Posted - 2006.04.24 20:11:00 - [4] Edited by: Maya Rkell on 24/04/2006 20:11:47 Viktor Fyretracker... blinks No, it does not. Switch/Maestro has had a verification number printed on them like credit cards for some years.

Maya Rkell	Posted - 2006.04.24 21:54:00 - [5] Maestro/Switch cards also use the CVC2 system. "The Human eye is a marvelous device, with a very little effort it can overlook all but the most glaring injustice" - Quellchrist Falconer
Maya Rkell	Posted - 2006.04.25 00:46:00 - [6] Sigh. Switch/Mastro cards in the last...what...3 years in the UK have had 16 figures, no issue number and a CCV2 number. Many places online only accept the "new"-style cards. "The Human eye is a marvelous device, with a very little effort it can overlook all but the most glaring injustice" - Quellchrist Falconer

Maya Rkell	Posted - 2006.04.25 22:25:00 - [8] Sigh. The "Vanilla" Mastercard debit card IS Maestro! "The Human eye is a marvelous device, with a very little effort it can overlook all but the most glaring injustice" - Quellchrist Falconer
Maya Rkell	Posted - 2006.04.25 22:37:00 - [9] And afaik as best I can tell by the issuing banks and their subscribers, Maestro must be far more widespread than Electron/Delta. Also, frex I know with Lloyds TSB that they offer you "an Electron debit card at first, with an upgrade to Maestro later". Mostly because I use them for my banking. The actual figures are only in expensive market reports though.

Maya Rkell	Posted - 2006.04.26 18:15:00 - [10] Edited by: Maya Rkell on 26/04/2006 18:14:51 Yes, and Visa Electron - which is the Visa debit card offering Lloyds TSB are doing these days - DOSN'T work with the Eve payment system. I tried. I also have a credit card so it wasn't really that important. "The Human eye is a marvelous device, with a very little effort it can overlook all but the most glaring injustice" - Quellchrist Falconer
Maya Rkell	Posted - 2006.04.26 18:24:00 - [11] Then it's a delta. Which is decidedly odd given Lloyds TSB's long-tern committment to Maestro. shrugs, if you asked for it (or they thought you asked for it...)

Maya Rkell	Posted - 2006.04.26 18:41:00 - [12] Edited by: Maya Rkell on 26/04/2006 18:41:37 waves a Lloyds TSB for for a Mastro card It's complex. But then again, it's banking.

Sorry to disappoint you mate but i have a Visa Electron Visa debit card from Lloyds TSB in UK and i can pay for Eve subscriptions using their CCP's payment system on this website It's allways rejected my details. shrugs "The Human eye is a marvelous device, with a very little effort it can overlook all but the most glaring injustice" - Quellchrist Falconer
Maya Rkell	Posted - 2006.04.27 12:42:00 - [14] Originally by: Ania Selnor Actually Maestro must be available in the US, because it's the only way my Canadian debit card works there. I have no idea what my card number is for Maestro, since the debit card network in Canada is primarily Interac, which afaik is only used here. Maestro and Cirrus (whatever that is) information is on the strip only. We've used the same cards for ATM and in store purchases since the 80's ... so even though the rest of the world uses other things I doubt we'll ever change. Cirrus is why it works...it's an interbank system which Interac use.
