These circuits have a set of rules and procedures that allow you to use your card to make payments (through POS machines in stores) or to withdraw money from or make payments at ATMs (by connecting to a financial intermediary or bank). Cards (debit, credit or prepaid) can be linked to one or more payment circuits, identifiable by the logo printed on the card itself. The most well-known debit card circuits in Italy are Maestro and Bancomat, while the credit card circuits are Visa and MasterCard.
