Mastercard Maestro (1996-2016) Logo in Vector

Mastercard Maestro is a debit and prepaid card brand introduced by Mastercard in 1991.

Designed for point-of-sale and ATM use, Maestro has been widely accepted around the world, with millions of retail locations supporting the network. The brand served as one of Mastercard’s primary international debit solutions for decades before its gradual transition to other card products.

In July 2023, Mastercard began phasing out Maestro across Europe, requiring banks and card issuers to replace expired or lost Maestro cards with alternative Mastercard debit products.
