Visa was originally launched in the United States in 1958 as BankAmericard, by Bank of America. The card was also licensed to banks in other countries, with each using localized brand names. In 1966, it was launched in the UK as Barclaycard, 1967 in France as Carte Bleue, and in 1968 in Canada as Chargex. In 1976, all BankAmericard licensees were united under the new Visa brand.
