The monument to a credit card was opened on August 5, 2011 in Yekaterinburg, Russia.
[1][2] The monument was erected on the corner of Bankovski alley and Malyshev street and is a bas-relief of a hand that holds a credit card.
The creation of the monument was made under the initiative of the Vuz-Bank, which in 2011 celebrated the 20th anniversary of its founding.
The idea was embodied by Yekaterinburg's sculptor Sergei Belyaev.
[3][4] The name engraved on the monument is that of Edward Bellamy, the science fiction writer who in his novel "Looking Backward" in 1888 first proposed the idea of payment cards.
