Merchants who accept Maestro for online payments in 187 countries worldwide 2024
The number of European websites that offered Maestro as a payment method was relatively higher than those from the United States up until 2024. This according to estimates based on website tracking and the technologies used within them, focusing solely on Payment Acceptance and Payment Processing. Note that the percentages, especially, are estimates due to categorization. Nevertheless, it provides an insight in the high use of UnionPay in the United States but also the importance of the card brand elsewhere in the world. According to estimates, nearly seven percent of Italian merchants with at least one Payment Acceptance or Payment Processor technology until February 2024 had Maestro on their website.
