Uhh, the only card I've ever had that didn't have 16 digits was ... a visa credit card (Barclays, 13 digits), many years ago. Methinks you misunderstood something. I strongly suspect he is referring to UK Switch (now branded Maestro) cards which until very recently were issued with (I think) a 19 digit principal number. UK issued Maestro cards are now being switched over to the 16 digit standard. I can't remember the details but this has caused a number of problems - I think it was that holders of the old-standard UK Maestro cards could run into trouble using them abroad. |
