As detailed
previously the Maestro brand name is replacing that of Switch
in the UK. The new Maestro card range will stay the same as
that detailed for Switch however Maestro now require all UK
merchants to accept the Non-UK issued Maestro cards by default,
therefore the Commidea software will require change. These
changes will be made to all current Commidea software products
(i.e. not DOS products).
New software versions and configuration files will be made
available in due course.
Maestro requires all changes to be made by June 2004, so
we aim to get the new CFGs released in ample time.
The only change that is required by you is the amendment
of any reference you have to 'Switch' to read 'Maestro' including
card vouchers / receipts / literature.
There will be differences in the operating rules for the
Non-UK issued Maestro cards and we are told that each Acquiring
Bank will contact each Merchant and agree new terms. We do
know, however, that all Acquiring Banks will not accept the
Non-UK issued Maestro cards for CNP or e-commerce sales unless
SecureCode has been implemented.
