PayLife Issuing
The number of payment cards issued in Austria is rising continually. The leading card is the Maestro debit card, followed by PayLife credit cards and Quick, the electronic purse. The development/issuing of payment cards and the support of financial institutions that act as issuers themselves ensure that as many Austrians as possible are provided with comprehensive, user-friendly and secure means of payment.
The trend towards cashless payment is continuing in Austria. The main pillars are the Bankomat POS terminals that allow Maestro payments, Quick payments, credit card payments as well as costumer and fleet card payments.
ATMs allow cash withdrawals around the clock. Since 1980 they have developed into an indispensable service offered by banks.
