Types of cards?

[Skye12329]

Just a quick question, but whenever i go somewhere it will say these are the cards we accept and i notice and am wondering what are Maestro, Cirrus, Diners Club? I might be missing a few but those are the ones i can remember.

Diners Club is owned by Discover, they used to be their own seperate credit card company.

Maestro and Cirrus cards are Mastercards owned and basically are debit cards.
