Still remember my first BankAmericard back in the late 60s in college. Back then, they had just started bank cash machines.

Can you do more videos like this? Awesome, American Express Explainer Vid Please?

That is a big part / history of Bank of America. Also remember working for Bank of America when they launched the first Visa (or Master Card) debit card. I was on the pilot and back then, was nervous using it as I really didn't understand how it worked nor the benefits. Just got it in the mail one day.

I would like to see more videos like this where you go in depth and explain how companies or a credit charge cards got started

Thank you. I do like videos like this. I had no idea of the history here. I do have the BankAmericard but after the zero percent on purchases period, it is only used every few months to keep it active.

Nice new format Ben! It would be great to have it a bit longer – up to 10 minutes.

Richard Forester December 1, 2019 - 11:41 pm

According to Fred Mertz they were called a charge plate back in the 50s.

Is this a permanent change to your outro? If so, I approve.

I think Diners Club was the first credit card.

jdog1988x December 9, 2019 - 6:01 am

Shifu! I love these history videos you make on credit cards. You should post more videos like this to help differentiate yourself from the other credit card reviewers. P.S. also loved the amex and diner club videos.
