With this Maestro card, which is also referred to as a cashpoint card, the card issuer is in a position to withdraw cash worldwide from cash dispensing machines (ATMs) and to carry out cashless payments at POS terminals (card payment terminals). There is another debit card issued under the brand V PAY, which is licensed by the credit card institution Visa. The V PAY card can also be used world- wide at ATMs and POS terminals. The common characteristic of these cards is that they bear the logo of Maestro and/or V PAY. Otherwise, the design of these cards is open, i.e. they can have various designs. The cards represented here are thus only examples of many. 1.1 SECURITY FEATURES 1.1.1 MAESTRO FRONT SIDE Company/logo of card issuer Chip (optional) Expiry date Account number Name of the cardholder Color Maestro logo either on the top right or lower corner REVERSE SIDE Magnet strips Signature field PAGE 3 DEBIT CARDS: MAESTRO AND V PAY 1.1.2 V PAY FRONT SIDE Color V PAY logo - various placement possibilities including a vertical orientation are possible.

The payments are processed exclusively via POS terminals and/or POS cash register systems which check the validity of the card and the correc- tness of the PIN (Personal Identification Number, or secret code) input- ted by the cardholder.
