American Express Charge Card and Credit Cards
Even though most people consider the American Express Charge Card to be the flagship of the company, it was actually an addition much later on in the company's history. American Express started out in 1850 not as a banking company, but rather as an express delivery business. A little over thirty years later, the company launched the money order business which became the foundation of its initial financial services.
American Express issued its first charge card in 1958 and quickly became a recognized brand in the world of credit cards. Today, the company operates in over 130 countries providing financial services around the globe.
Today, people can choose from the traditional American Express charge card where your balance is due in full every month or a more conventional Amex credit card where you can carry a balance each month.
