What is American Express?

American Express is a multinational payment card services company. Unlike other major card brands, it issues its own cards in addition to processing payments on the American Express network.

Often referred to as Amex, American Express offers credit and charge cards, and prepaid debit cards. These cards are available to individuals, businesses, and corporate customers both in the United States and in various countries around the world.

Amex offers a secure way to pay for purchases, both online and in person, with an attractive reward system. Amex's customers swear by its perks as well as its high-quality customer service.

Amex card users tend to spend more on average, since the company incentivizes high spending and requires them to fully pay their credit or charge card balance each month. Because of this customer base, and because of the protection from fraudulent transactions offered by Amex, many merchants opt to accept American Express cards as a payment method.
