Definition of the word <b>credit card</b>

Origin of the word credit card

The term "credit card" has a straightforward origin, combining the words "credit" and "card." While credit itself has been around for centuries, the "card" aspect emerged in the 19th century with "charge cards" used for specific stores. In the 1950s, companies like Diners Club and American Express popularized the concept, offering cards for wider use and giving birth to the modern "credit card" we know today. The name thus reflects the card's function: granting credit for purchases.
