I have no particular expertise in this, but the Wikipedia page about Maestro has some useful information: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Maestro_(debit_card) According to that article, the debit card system called Maestro in the UK is a rebranding of a UK-specific debit card formerly called Switch, and the system is unrelated to the Maestro system used in the rest of Europe. -- Jon --~--~---------~--~----~------------~-------~--~----~ You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "Android Discuss" group.
