Since its founding in 1850, American Express has conducted business according to several guiding principles that over the years have become inextricably linked with the company's brand, products, services and perhaps most notably its people. Generations before the phrase company values entered the corporate lexicon; American Express employees across the organization were demonstrating the same core principles upheld by the company today:

We provide outstanding products and unsurpassed service that, together, deliver premium value to our customers.

We work together, across boundaries, to meet the needs of our customers and to help the company win.
