What provider is your debit card using? Is it not MasterCard or Visa? I'm genuinely curious, there are very few countries not duopolized by these two giants.

It's called Maestro, which is owned by MasterCard. Which doesn't help however since it has no credit card number

Ah! I have one of those too. It's being retired soon, though, and banks using it are now do the switch to MasterCard for newly issued cards.

(Maestro is a MasterCard brand)

Edit: Nevermind, not every country is retiring Maestro as of today.
