American Express Credit Card Offers

American express is the old man of financial institutions. It began as an express delivery business in 1850 and grew to be a financial mega-giant. We all know the American Express slogan, 'Don't leave home without it.' It is one of the most recognized brand names in the US. The AMEX card offers a large variety of financial instruments to suit just about any buyer from the most discriminating to the young adult with his or her first card. In the beginning American Express did exactly that, they were express men who delivered goods and financial instruments, including gold and currency, by cumbersome stagecoaches and swift horses. These were rugged men used to adversity in the East and in the wild unsettled American West. On any trip they might face tortuous heat, howling winds, snow storms or lawless men. Though American Express was not a financial institution in its early years, its best customers were banks. After deciding that American Express might prosper more by transporting their own financial resources, AMEX was well on the road to becoming a world class financial institution. In 1882 they went into the money order business. The rest is history. Compare American Express credit card offers and apply online.
