In 2009, Visa's global network (known as VisaNet) processed 6260;billion transactions with a total volume of $460;trillion. For anyone who thought they could never get a card due to bad credit, what can you do? First you should think about why you want the credit card in the first place. If you have a history of bad credit, maybe it is the last thing you truly need. Credit cards are often the leading cause of debt that leads people to bankruptcy. Credit cards affect people on a psychological level, it makes it seem as though you're getting something for free. If you really need and want a credit card despite your past, you need to apply for a secured credit card. Even those who declared bankruptcy can be granted secure cards. In recent times, credit card portfolios have been very profitable for banks, largely due to the booming economy of the late 1990s. However, in the case of credit cards, such high returns go hand in hand with risk, since the business is essentially one of making unsecured (uncollateralized) loans, and thus dependent on borrowers not to default in large numbers. Some people will have a credit card because it is the most convenient way to pay for online shopping. Online shopping can be the most convenient way of shopping to some people, especially to those who have not had time for going out to malls. Online shops usually charge their clients through credit cards. Early credit cards in the U.S., of which BankAmericard was the most prominent example, were mass produced and mass mailed unsolicited to bank customers who were thought to be good credit risks. But, "They have been mailed off to unemployables, drunks, narcotics addicts and to compulsive debtors, a process President Johnson's Special Assistant Betty Furness found very like 'giving sugar to diabetics'." These mass mailings were known as "drops" in banking terminology, and were outlawed in 1970 due to the financial chaos they caused. However, by the time the law came into effect, 100 million credit cards had been dropped into the U.S. population. After 1970, only credit card applications could be sent unsolicited in mass mailings.
