Consumer Credit Act comes into force on July 1st 1977
1980s
The UK moves to ‘duality’, i.e. banks begin to issue both Visa and Access cards. Subsequently, the Access consortium begins to break-up, and disappears as a brand as MasterCard gains recognition in the UK. This move brings world-wide acceptance to UK-issued cards.
Early/mid 80s saw the introduction of electronic point of sale terminals.
The Regulation may be cited as the Consumer Credit (Agreements) Regulations1983, and shall come into operation on 19th May 1985.
