History Of Payment Cards


1914 - Western Union provided metal cards giving free, deferredpayment privileges to preferred customers. These cards came to be called "metal money. 1924 - General Petroleum Corporation issued the first metal money for gasoline and automotive services first to employees and select customers and later to the general public. Late 1930's - American Telephone and Telegraph (AT&T) introduced the "Bell System Credit Card." Soon, railroads and airlines introduced similar cards. Credit cards grew in popularity until the beginning of World War II when "Regulation W" restricted the use of such cards during the war and temporarily suppressed the growth of this new payment alternative.

History Of Payment Cards

1946 - A New York banker developed a credit system called Charge-It. When customers charged local retail purchases, the merchant deposited the charges at Biggins Bank and the bank reimbursed the merchant for the sale. The bank later collected payment from the customer.

1950 - Mr. McNamara created Diners Club charge card.

1951 - Customers of New York's Franklin National Bank


submitted an application for a loan and were screened for credit. Approved customers were given a card they could use to make retail purchases. The merchant copied the customer information from the card onto a sales slip, called the bank for approval of transactions over a certain amount. The bank would credit the merchant account for the loan minus a fee to cover the costs of providing the loan.

History Of Payment Cards

1959 - Many banks were offering the option of revolving credit, which allowed customers to make regular payments on the balance owed rather than having to pay off the entire balance at one time.

1965 - Bankcard associations began when Bank of America

formed licensing agreements with other banks. This enabled them


to issue BankAmericard and Interchange transactions among participating banks. 1966 - Fourteen US banks formed Interlink, a new association with the ability to exchange information on credit card transactions.

History Of Payment Cards

1967 - Four California banks formed the Western States Bankcard Association and introduced the MasterCharge program to compete with the BankAmericard program.

1967 - Jrgen Dethloff invents the smart card computer. 1969 - As the bankcard industry grew, banks interested in issuing cards became members of either BankAmericard or

MasterCharge. Their members shared card program costs,


making the bankcard program available to even small financial institutions. 1970 - As credit card processing became more complicated,

outside service companies began to sell processing services to


VISA and MasterCard association members. This reduced the cost of programs for Issuing Banks and Acquirers and increased the size of the bankcard industry.

History Of Payment Cards

1970 / 1971 - MasterCharge and BankAmericard developed rules and standardized procedures for handling the bankcard paper flow in order to reduce fraud and misuse of cards. The two associations also created international processing systems to handle the exchange of money and information and established an arbitration procedure to settle disputes between members.

1976 - A pre-paid phone card was introduced by the Italian national phone company SIP. The introduction of the phone card was brought about by an extreme shortage of coins in the country which led to a rash of payphone thefts. The Italian phone card

used a magnetic stripe, similar to those found on credit cards, and


required the use of a payphone specially equipped with a magnetic card reader.

History Of Payment Cards

1977 - BankAmericard became VISA.

1979 - MasterCharge changed its name to MasterCard.


1982 - Japan's Nippon Telephone and Telegraph introduced the first Japanese pre-paid phone card to make calling more convenient for the tens of thousands of daily subway riders in Osaka and Tokyo. Like its European counterparts, the Japanese pre-paid cards relied on a magnetic strip and specially equipped telephones.

1993/1994 - Experimental card operating system at the University of Karlsruhe. It was mainly intended to implement and compare a family of public key crypto protocols worked on at the European Institute of System Security. Hence the name of the card was "ICEcard" (Ic card for Cryptographic Experiments).

History Of Payment Cards

1990 New York's RBOC, Nynex released the first pre-paid calling card that used PIN authorization instead of the magnetic stripe. Nynex's card permitted the cardholder to dial an 800 number and enter his PIN to make long distance phone calls.

Definition of Terms
Card Associations: Both VISA and MasterCard are not for-profit organizations who both issue credit cards and set and maintain the rules for processing. They are both run by board members who are mostly high-level executives from their member banks.

The acquiring bank is the bank set up by the merchant to accept transaction processing for cards accepted. Authorization Request and Response: An electronic request for authorization sent to an Issuer by a merchant or Acquirer. The response can approve, decline or route the transaction. Authentication: A cryptographic process that validates the identity and integrity of data used in smart cards.

Smart Card/Chip Card: A plastic card embedded with an integrated circuit, or chip, that communicates information to a interface device. Chip cards offer increased functionality through the combination of significant computing power and data storage. Chip cards are capable of holding multiple applications and sometimes are referred to as Multi-Ap Cards.

History of Smart Cards


Smart Cards have been around since the early 70s. The patent
was registered in 1974. Commercialization started in the early 1980s with phone cards. In 1993, there were 300 million Smart Cards issued in the world. (80% were phone cards) In 1998, Amex Blue was introduced in US. In 2000, vendors shipped 1.6 billion chip cards worldwide, of which 541 million were cards with microprocessor chips, up 36% from the year before.

In 2005, vendors will ship an estimated 2.4 billion of the higher-end microprocessor cards, half of which will be subscriber identity module cards for mobile phones

Why Smart Cards?

Security and fraud reduction


Interactive Storage Capacity

Dynamic downloading
Side Note: Outside the U.S., Smart Card use has aggressively taken place because of two major factors: 1. Telecommunications is very poor & costly 2. Majority of transactions are offline

Fraud and Security

Magnetic stripe technology remains in wide use in the U.S. However, the data on the stripe can easily be read, written, deleted or changed with off-the-shelf equipment. To protect the consumer, businesses in the U.S. have invested in extensive online mainframe-based computer networks for verification and processing. The microprocessor on the smart card is there for security. The host computer and card reader actually "talk" to the microprocessor. The microprocessor enforces access to the data on the card.
