Partners to offer expense management solutions to bank's corporate customers
Frankfurt, Germany — June 16, 2004 — American Express and Deutsche Bank announced this week that they have signed an agreement to launch a jointly branded American Express Corporate Card and Business Travel Account program issued by American Express and distributed by Deutsche Bank to its corporate customers in Germany and their selected subsidiaries worldwide.
American Express said its corporate cards and business travel accounts are designed to help corporate customers to better manage their travel and entertainment expenses and identify opportunities for cost savings.
The cooperation links American Express' corporate card product and global platform with Deutsche Bank's distribution power to its target customers. The joint offering will help corporations manage their travel and entertainment expenses globally in a more efficient and comprehensive manner, the newly minted partners said.
