In finally finding an ATM card that was not expired (never use the things at home) I noted that it a VISA logo and has the Cirrus logo on the back. Looking up German and Swiss ATM locations online, it seems to indicate that the Cirrus is a MasterCard product and Plus is Visa.

Am I going to have a problem trying to use a Cirrus/Visa card in an ATM in Germany? Would hate to be stuck with no cash!!
Thanks for any input.

Don't worry about the Mastercard or VISA logo. Worry about the Cirrus or Plus logos. In any event, you will not have an issue that cannot be resolved by going to a bank around the corner (if it ends up being an issue).
