Is it possible to use the Maestro card in Bulgaria?

Responds to Information department of "Subtlety of Tourism"
"Maestro" (Maestro) - a card of the international payment system MasterCard. It is accepted everywhere abroad, but in comparison with MasterCard has a number of limited functions. For example, it's not all European shops that can pay for it, but it's certainly possible to withdraw cash from ATMs (of course, with a commission).

At the same time, one should distinguish between the usual Maestro and Sberbank-Maestro cards "Social", Sberbank-Maestro "Student" - they can not be paid abroad (some even bear the inscription "Only for Russia." This is separately written on the website Sberbank of the Russian Federation.

Abroad, you can use all the cards of international payment systems Visa International and MasterCard International, issued by Sberbank of Russia, with the exception of Sberbank-Maestro cards "Social", Sberbank-Maestro "Student".
