“We built the new American Express Business Checking from the
ground up because businesses told us they want more from their
existing checking account. It’s a customer first, full-service
digital business checking account that makes cash management easy,
processes a range of payment types and earns high-yield interest on
balances up to $500,000. Plus, customers will soon be able to earn
and redeem Membership Rewards® points,” said Dean Henry, Executive
Vice President of Global Commercial Services at American Express.
“This is business checking with the best of American Express –
security, service and rewards they can invest back into their
business.”
In early 2022, Business Checking customers will be able to earn
Membership Rewards® points and redeem them for deposits into their
Business Checking account4.
The announcement further expands American Express’ small
business offerings within and beyond the Card, building on its
acquisition of Kabbage, a FinTech providing small business cash
flow solutions.
