I’ve never even seen a Mastercard, where would you get one? Visa seems standard across Irish banks
I’d say Mastercard is a very common credit card

Is it? I’m sure it’ll be very popular here today now 
How would you get one, I don’t think I ever had the option when I signed up for any credit/debit cards through AIB and PTSB
I had Mastercard until recently when KBC closed up. That was their debit card. I was asked the same question before, and hadn’t even twigged it to be honest. Just thought it was a strange question and said I didn’t take a receipt (which I wouldn’t unless I bought from the middle aisle)
Aren’t all the Avant cards Mastercard, formerly MBNA? I’d say there’s haypes of them just not in Trackie’s wallet
I’ve a Revolut card that I use for my cross border transactions. That’s a MasterCard too
Is that how it goes? banks only issue one type of card, visa or Mastercard I suppose?
Anybody on TFK use a Mastercard day to day?
That’s my understanding but I could be wrong. The An Post debit card is MasterCard but the three main Irish banks seem to be all Visa now. I don’t know what Ulster Bank were as I never had an account with them

Yeah, Revolut and Avant issue Mastercard CCs.
BOI are all Mastercard. It’s probably the most common card in Ireland. 
BOI are MasterCard for credit and Visa for debit card I think?
My revolut is Mastercard. My credit card is Mastercard. My BoI debit card is Visa.
My revolut was Visa but I think they switched over to Mastercard

Mine is MasterCard
Both the virtual and the real card (they both have different numbers)
Yep, discussion was centred around credit cards I believe.
Not sure if that was ever stipulated by the original poster mate.
Edit: @Fagan_ODowd’s follow on post did stipulate credit card.
Mea culpa
My apologies , I didn’t think many people used credit cards anymore but again I’m probably completely wrong
Sure you are completely wrong, you said no one in Ireland had a Mastercard. Half the adult population do.

Use the credit card all the time and clear the debt regularly from the current account. Whatever about some cunt having a bit of fun on my credit card I’d have a horror of my current account being cleaned out.

A lot of banks in the UK are switching to Mastercard because Visa were/are charging huge fees. Either to the banks or to retailers to process the payments.
