Episode Synopsis

The story of the credit card began in 1950, when business executive Frank McNamara had an unexpected moment of realization after forgetting his wallet during a dinner with clients. This simple mistake led to the creation of the Diners Club card, the first modern credit card, which allowed users to buy now, pay later.See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.
