AMERICAN EXPRESS
The American Express has a history that traces back to 1850, when it began as a small express mail service in Buffalo, New York. The company eventually merged with other companies and in 1871 became a joint stock company. That same year, the company began expanding its financial services, including money orders, which were competitive with those of the United States Postal Service.
The company is one of the largest credit card issuers in the world, with a stellar reputation for customer service. The company also offers many rewards programs that customers love. Although the company is ranked highly in customer satisfaction surveys, there are some areas that can use improvement.
