Etymology

The term 'cardholder' emerged in the mid-20th century along with the widespread adoption of credit cards as a financial tool. Initially, credit cards were issued by individual retailers, but over time, banks and dedicated financial institutions began issuing them more broadly, thus creating a need for terminology to describe individuals who possessed these cards. The word combines 'card', which is derived from the Latin 'charta', meaning a sheet of paper or a playing card, and 'holder', from the Old English 'halder', meaning one who holds or has possession of something. As various types of payment cards developed, including debit cards, membership cards, and others, the term 'cardholder' became universally understood to refer to anyone who has a financial card issued for their use.
