The American Express Credit Card Company
American Express began in 1850 as an express delivery service based in NYC, but about 100 years later it launched its first credit card. Within the first five years the card gained more than a million cardholders. By the 1960s American Express had millions of customers and had introduced the prestigious and popular Amex Gold Card. Today American Express credit cards are carried by approximately 25 percent of all cardholders in the United States.
The American Express brand now encompasses a wide number of financial services under its global corporate umbrella and is traded on the New York Stock Exchange. The American Express credit card division is one of the top three credit card processing companies in the world and it has a full range of credit cards for individuals, small businesses, and larger corporations.
Whatever kind of credit card you need, American Express has it – but generally speaking you need to have excellent credit to qualify.
