The MasterCard MoneySend and Visa Direct services allow merchants to refund their customers with any eligible MasterCard/Maestro or Visa debit, credit, or prepaid card.
The most important benefit is the ability for merchants to complete the refund in near real-time to a MasterCard or Visa card, which usually takes less than 30 minutes.
