The size of the monument is about two metres high and one metre wide.

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.
