Visa and Mastercard are the world's largest credit and debit card providers. Both Mastercard and Visa are accepted in numerous countries around the globe, and their services differ only slightly. As both cards are quite similar, it’s more important to compare the issuing banks, as they determine the conditions. As an N26 customer, you’ll receive a globally accepted Mastercard that you can use to pay anywhere in the world without fees.
