Your money is protected. If you lose your card, inform your bank as soon as possible and you don’t lose your money.
Convenient
You’ll always have exactly the right amount on you to pay for anything.
Its quick and easy – no fumbling for cash and waiting for change, just insert your card, enter your PIN and it’s done. Or if you pay with Maestro PayPass™, just tap your card against the reader and go (see the PayPass™ section > for more information).
Works abroad
You can use it abroad in the same way as you do at home – at the shops as well as at the ATM.1
Keeps track of your spending
There is a record of every cent you spend – so you can always see where your money is going whenever you check your bank statement.
