Credit cards began in the late '40s when banks began giving out paper certificates that could be used like cash in local stores. The first real credit card was issued in 1951 by Franklin National Bank in New York.
But according to Encyclopedia Britannica, the use of credit cards started in United States of America in 1920s when companies like hotels and oil companies began giving them to customers for purchases made at those business. The use of credit cards increased after World War II.
The first universal credit card -- one that could be used at a variety of stores and businesses -- was introduced by Diners Club, Inc., in 1950. Later the major universal credit card was issued by American Express company in 1958 with a slogan – "Don't leave home without it!"
