Testimonials
"Amex has been a strong partner for us in growing our business. A great example is from the summer of 2018— there was a huge can shortage in the beverage industry and we were fortunate to leverage the flexibility of our Amex card, and were able to come up with a quick solution ahead of our competitors, which basically saved our summer.1
Mike Wagman,
Co-Founder & CEO, Ace Hill
"In the past, we have used other products, but have always preferred American Express for one key reason – their unbeatable customer service. Whenever there are issues with a certain vendor transaction or a problematic supplier, American Express always supports us, which I think is extremely rare with many companies today and it gives us peace of mind that they have our backs.1,2
Eric Brass,
Founder & CEO, Tequila Tromba
"While I recognized American Express, I had some concerns that my vendors and customers may not accept it. I realized quickly that I was mistaken and signed up for my first American Express Card. The products I use are tailored to my unique business and spend patterns, which has been a huge change for me when it comes to better managing our cash flow.1,3
