Probably back in day the card used https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Switch_(debit_card) https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Switch_(debit_card)
A few years ago the pinguins took over (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=x48eLs8tnJo https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=x48eLs8tnJo) and basically every card in the UK is now either Visa/MasterCard/Amex and very few Maestro.
