Co-badging

The term “co-badging” is used when more than one payment brand is assigned to a payment instrument (usually a payment card).

An example of a payment instrument that is often co-badged in Germany is the girocard. The girocard is often available together with the Maestro or V PAY function. In the past, the girocard was also equipped with a prepaid function (GeldKarte) in many cases.
