'''Switch''' was a [[debit card]] used in the [[United Kingdom]]. It is a sister of the [[Solo (debit card)|Solo debit card]]. Switch was launched in 1988 by [[Midland Bank]], [[National Westminster Bank]] and [[Royal Bank of Scotland]]. The payment system has now been merged with [[Maestro (debit card)|Maestro]], an international debit card brand. This merger has been referred to as the "penguin wedding" with distinctive [[advertisement]]s of the penguins in different international settings, by [[Joel Veitch]]. However, despite the Maestro brand name, the transactions in the UK are still processed by the Switch system in the UK.
