The company whose creativity and popularity have grown profusely over the past 40 years was founded in 1966 in New York City, as the Interbank
Card Association and opened up new opportunities for consumers to purchase merchandise in an easier, faster and more effective way.
After 13 years of development and changes such as the magstripe becoming a required feature on all cards, the company finally changed
their name to MasterCard in 1979. Yet, in 1980 MasterCard revisited their name again and changed it to MasterCard International to
emphasize their growing relationships with countries around the world. Other changes occurred as well with the changing of their name,
including new offers for customers, like gold cards and corporate cards.
In 1987 MasterCard became the first card ever offered to the People's Republic of China. Shortly after in 1988 MasterCard
acquired the Cirrus ATM Network and in 1991 merged with Europay to create Maestro, the first online point-of-cell debit network. As time and
experience have taken shape for MasterCard they have continued to not only enhance their services as one of the best credit cards around, but
they have become pervasive in not only the U.S. but all over the world. They have used their experience to gain and maintain strong
relationships with other countries as well as other companies and can now be extremely proud to say that they provide services to over
210 countries and territories.
MasterCard provides an immense amount of services to their customers and every card is up to par with the high MasterCard
standards. Cards range from world elite cards, gold, platinum, rewards, prepaid debit cards, and even the MasterCard pay pass which is
perfect for those shoppers who are in a rush. Options are limitless when it comes to choosing a MasterCard. Explore the MasterCard
