The application that will be used in a bank transaction is the one that
both the card and the terminal support, and the one with the highest pri-
ority.
For most UK bank cards, from the logo on the card, it is quite easy to
guess that the supported application will be at least one of these:
VISA: a0 00 00 00 03
MASTERCARD: a0 00 00 00 04 10 10
Maestro: a0 00 00 00 04 30 60
Thus we will use AID = .
Its length in bytes is: .
