History

Mastercard was founded in the year 1966. The company has been active for almost 33 years now. In the year 1958, BankAmericard debuted, and it was a disaster. It was not until the year 1961 that Bank of America started to make profits. Bank of America kept his profits as a secret thing and moved on, until in the year 1966, when Bank of America's benefits was too big to not to be seen. Before the year 1966, only eight credit cards were released by banks, but after the year 1966, almost 440 more credit cards were launched. In the year 1966, the ICA or the Interbank Card Association was established. In the year 1969, Interbank developed a new national brand, known as 'Master Charge', and it had orange and yellow overlapping circles as its logo.

That same year, First National City Bank also joined Interbank and merged its proprietary Everything Card with Master Charge as well. Then in the year 1968, the ICA and Eurocard started a strategic alliance, which effectively allowed the ICA to get access to the European market, and for Eurocard to be accepted on the ICA network as well. The Access card system from the United Kingdom as well had joined the ICA and Eurocard alliance in the year 1972. In the year 1979, 'Master Charge: The Interbank Card' was renamed to just 'MasterCard'. In 1997, Mastercard had taken over the Access card, and therefore the Access brand was then retired as well. As of the year 2002, the company had merged with Europay International, which was another sizeable credit-card issuer association as well, of which Eurocard had become a part back in the year 1992. During the year 2006, MasterCard International changed its name to MasterCard Worldwide. This was mainly done in order to suggest a more global scale of operations. In the year 2010, the company had acquired Data Cash. This was followed by the company's expansion of mobile contact-less payment programs, in various markets, including the Middle East. Then in the year 2014, the company had taken over an Australian company known as Pinpoint. The same year, the company had collaborated with Apple in order to incorporate a new wallet feature into the iPhone, for users readily use Mastercard and other credit cards. In the year 2016, the company had introduced its new rebranding, along with a new corporate logo as well. Its service name from 'MasterCard' to 'mastercard'. As of the year 2017, Mastercard had acquired Brighterion - which was a Delaware Corporation headquartered in San Francisco, California, USA,  and it provides a portfolio of artificial intelligence and machine learning technologies.
