About American Express

American Express Company (Amex) is a multinational financial services corporation based in New York City that specializes in payment cards. It is one of the most valuable businesses in the world and one of the Dow Jones Industrial Average’s 30 components. The company’s logo, which was introduced in 1958, depicts a gladiator or centurion, and it can be found on the company’s well-known traveler’s cheques, charge cards, and credit cards. Its business headquarters are located in the American Express Tower in the Lower Manhattan neighborhood of Battery Park City. They are the world’s biggest provider of traveler’s checks. Founded in 1850 as an express mail dispatcher, the business expanded into financial and travel services in the early 1900s. American Express issued its first paper charge card in 1958, followed by the gold card in 1966, the green card in 1969, the platinum card in 1984, and the centurion card in 1999. The “Don’t Leave Home Without It” advertising campaign debuted in 1975 and was revived in 2005. Through a stake in Shearson Lehman Hutton, the firm invested and divested in the brokerage sector during the 1980s. They stopped cutting interchange fees for merchants who only took their cards in the 1990s and increased their market share through targeted marketing campaigns. During the 2008 financial crisis, they transformed into a bank-holding business. In 2013, the company introduced its airline lounge amenity. With 56.4 million cards in circulation in the United States and 121.7 million cards worldwide, American Express makes for 22.9% of the total dollar volume of domestic credit card transactions (as of 2016). (as of 2021). Annually, the typical cardholder spends $23,496. Forbes ranked American Express as the most valuable brand in worldwide financial services and the 23rd most valuable brand overall in 2017, with an estimated brand value of $24.5 billion. Based on an employee satisfaction poll, Fortune magazine ranked the business ninth in their list of the Top 100 Companies to Work For in 2020. Costco began issuing co-branded American Express cards that also functioned as membership credentials in 2004. Costco terminated this arrangement in the United States in 2016 and in Canada in 2015. The cards had no annual fees and offered cashback in the shape of in-store rebates on certain purchase tiers. The TrueEarnings cards distributed by Costco in the United States were a continuation of a 1999 exclusive credit card network agreement between Costco and American Express. Costco was the last major retailer in the United States to take only American Express cards. Neiman Marcus, which had given American Express similar general-purpose card exclusivity since the 1980s, started accepting Visa and Mastercard in November 2011. In January 2015, Costco’s Canadian stores terminated their exclusive agreement with American Express in favor of one with Capital One and Mastercard. Capital One did not purchase American Express accounts and balances, so Costco Canada members had to apply for the new cards rather than immediately qualifying. Executives at American Express discussed the possibility of launching a travel charge card as early as 1946, but it wasn’t until Diners Club introduced a card in March 1950 that American Express truly considered the idea. American Express CEO Ralph Reed decided to enter the card industry at the end of 1957, and by the launch date of October 1, 1958, public interest had grown so strong that 250,000 cards were issued before the official launch date. The card was introduced with a $6 annual fee, $1 more than Diners Club, to be perceived as a premium product. The first cards were made of paper and written with the account number and the card member’s name. American Express pioneered the use of engraved plastic cards in 1959. As of December 31, 2022, the business had 133.3 million cards in circulation, including 56.4 million in the United States, with an average annual spending of $23,496. These include American Express individual, small business, and corporate cards, as well as cards issued by its Global Service Network partners that operate on its network. (such as Commonwealth Bank, Westpac, and NAB in Australia and Lloyds Bank and Barclays Bank in the UK). ANZ, Australia’s fourth-largest bank, announced on March 1, 2017, that it would no longer issue American Express cards, with support being phased out completely by August 5, 2017. American Express is the world’s fourth biggest general-purpose card network by purchase volume, trailing China UnionPay, Visa, and MasterCard. Based on the number of cards in circulation, it is the world’s fourth-largest card network. Because American Express is a partner bank for both Google and Apple’s mobile wallet systems (Google Pay and Apple Pay, respectively), cardholders can use their American Express-issued cards to pay at establishments that take NFC payments. American Express provides several wireless credit cards. American Express is best known for its charge cards, which include the Green, Gold, and Platinum options. In 2018, the Gold Card was converted to a credit card for UK citizens, but it remains a charge card in the United States. American Express released its first charge card in 1958, requiring payment at the end of each month. In an attempt to cater to the upper echelons of business travel, the firm issued its first gold card in 1966. Its platinum certificate was introduced in 1984. American Express launched the Centurion Card, also known as the “black card,” in 1999, to appeal to an even more affluent customer segment. Initially, the card was only offered to Platinum cardholders. In the United States, the annual charge for the card is $5,000 (up from $1,000 at launch), with a $10,000 one-time initiation fee. In the 1980s, there were rumors and urban legends that American Express was producing an ultra-exclusive black card for elite users who could buy anything with it. The cost of publicly issued American Express cards in the United States ranges from no annual charge (for Blue and many other consumer and business cards) to a $695 annual fee. (for the Platinum card). Annual costs for the Green card begin at $150, while annual fees for the Gold card begin at $250.
