CartaSi is a MasterCard or Visa co-branded credit card issued in Italy and can be used for internet purchases. CartaSi online payments can be processed using the Visa or MasterCard processing rails.
CartaSi is a subsidiary of Gruppo ICBPI, a banking group that provides payment services and infrastructure for banks, financial institutions and insurance companies. CartaSi is the leader in electronic money with over 2 billion transactions and a total of 13 million credit cards in circulation. Online merchants accepting CartaSi credit cards basically accept a MasterCard or Visa credit card. To put it the other way around, merchants accepting MasterCard and Visa payments are able to accept CartaSi payments over the same processing route and contract. Merchants pay a commission fee and bare financial accountability in case of fraud and chargebacks.
