Just received the Global Money debit card, and was slightly surprised to see that it was a Visa, whilst HSBC seem to be moving debit cards all to Mastercard.
Not that it makes much difference, but it’s quite a good redundancy to have a travel Mastercard and Visa, as it’s not totally unheard of for problems with one network…but out of curiosity does anyone know the rationale behind the banks choosing to issue some cards with Mastercard and some with Visa? Surely easier to have just one contract with the same provider?
