American Express (also known as AMEX), is a global financial services and bank from the U.S. that is well known for its credit cards, otherwise known as AMEX cards.
AMEX is very popular and currently has over 109 million cards on its network, from individual consumers to corporate bodies. The brand is so big that American Express accounts for roughly 24% of the total dollar volume of credit card transactions in the U.S., making it one of the most trusted providers.
The biggest draw of American Express is its membership rewards programme, which allows its cardholders to earn points on purchases, which can then be redeemed for rewards ranging from travel to shopping, dining and entertainment.
