American Express Company Company Profile

American Express makes money even if you do leave home without it. The company is one of the world's largest travel agencies, but it is better known for its charge cards and revolving credit cards. And yes, the company still issues traveler's checks and publishes such magazines as Food & Wine and Travel + Leisure through its American Express Publishing unit. Its travel agency operations have thousands of locations worldwide, and its Travelers Cheque Group is the world's largest issuer of traveler's checks. But the company's charge and credit cards are its bread and butter; American Express has some 97 million cards in circulation worldwide.
