Cirrus (interbank network)

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Cirrus

Operating area	Worldwide
Members	Unknown
ATMs	±900,000

Cirrus is a worldwide interbank network. It links MasterCard, Maestro, Diners Club credit, debit and prepaid cards to a network of over 900,000 ATMs in 210 countries.^[1]

Maestro cards are, by default, linked to the Cirrus network, but very often, all three logotypes of the MasterCard family will be shown: MasterCard, Maestro and Cirrus. Canadian and American ATMs use this network alongside their local networks, and many banks have adopted Cirrus as their international interbank network alongside either a local network, the rival VISA PLUS ATM network, or both.

In locations like India and Bangladesh, the Cirrus network also serves as a local interbank network as well as an international network.
