Laser cards were never intended for online purchases
In fairness neither were VISA's MASTERCARDS or AMEX or the SWITCH or SOLO cards but they can (in most cases) they are accepted online. My Solo card in the UK always worked.
As far as I know, Visa and Mastercard contracts with retailers include arrangements for online transactions. Laser does not.
But when they were first invented there wasn't the need for this so obviously Laser should be doing the same if there is a demand for it do you not think?
"Laser Card Services" the operator of the Laser system which is owned by the banks who use it is now a member of the "Berlin Group" - a group of European debit card issuers, network and processors who are working on creating a pan-european debit card system to replace / complement the existing brands without using Maestro or any 'add on' international brand.
I'd say you'll see Laser being much more widely accepted online in the not too distant future.
