What is the difference between Visa and Mastercard??

[CLAVEL3699]

labo nang ibang definition dito.

Ano ba talaga tama. tawag ko nga

[Mguy]

Each bank and card company, may kanyang kanya promos and gimmick. Yun lang siguro kaibahan.

Mas accepted MasterCard sa Pinas. May establishment that only accepts MasterCard. Sa whole world naman, mas sikat ang Visa. Pero very near second naman ang MasterCard.

diba yung bank na ang nagbibigay ng mga promos?

even within the same bank - mas marami akong napapansin na Visa specific promos.

Is it true that in Europe, there are places where MC is not accepted?

[GasJunkie]

Usually only chinese restaurant don't accept any credit card.

missZ,

In Europe,most merchants dont prefer AMEX because of their high commission. No problem with visa or mc.

Sabi sa :google:

Similarities
They are both card associations that set rules and standards on how card transactions are accepted, authorized and processed. They both make money the same way and, currently, they are both owned by member banks. Citibank is the largest issuer of MasterCard and Bank of America is the largest issuer of Visa.

By the way, neither set interest rates - the banks set the rates.

Key differences...

Acceptance
MasterCard is accepted in more places globally, Visa is accepted more in the US.

Organizational Structure
MasterCard is about to go public, meaning you can buy shares in MasterCard Inc. Visa is an association of several geographic organizations owned and operated by member banks.

Products
Visa Debit cards are all over the place, not sure MasterCard has a debit card - or if it does it is not widely available. MasterCard does have a neat product called PayPass that allows you to just tap your card and go.

Ads
Visa ads stink. MasterCard's "Priceless" ads are cool.

At the end of the day, pick the card that gives you the most reward points

Sabi naman nung saleslady sa megamall, pag Visa 6.5% additional sa cash price, pag Mastercard 6%.
