Apparently American Express beat Bank America to the market by several months.
I also got my first credit card - a Barclaycard - about 30 years ago. I think the credit limit was quite low - about £80. Prior to that I had a Barclaybank debit card, which was the card you needed to use the first ATMs anywhere in the world.

My first was a Sears card, they didn't care if you had an income or not! lol.
By the way, it was actually called the "Bank Americard" not the "Bank Americacard"
