partnership in all sizes
When do small-business owners get the
kind of special treatment usually reserved
for CEOs of big companies? When
they’re OPEN from American Express
business cardmembers.
Nearly 20 years
ago, we launched the fi rst U.S. charge
card exclusively for small businesses.
Ever since, we’ve been adding innovative
products and services developed to meet
their unique needs. Through OPEN, we
give our cardmembers greater spending
power, valuable rewards and savings,
fl exible payment options, expense man-
agement tools and dedicated customer
service. We are committed to supporting
education and advocacy programs that
can benefi t all entrepreneurs. Our aim is
to grow our business by helping card-
members grow theirs.
OPEN is dedicated to the success of small-
business owners and their companies. American
Express is the leading U.S. card issuer for small
businesses by spending volume.
Amelia Moran-Ceja, owner of Ceja Vineyards in Napa Valley.
An OPEN from American Express cardmember, Amelia is a
winner of the Make Mine a $Million Business program, which
helps women entrepreneurs grow their businesses.
“American Express is a valuable partner.
They know service, they know
the marketplace, and they know
how to get results. Their people really
understand small business.”
