AMEX Bank of Canada
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
AMEX Bank of Canada is a unit of American Express Canada (AMEX Canada) and is owned by American Express of the United States. It is a provider of account products and various credit card services. American Express Canada was founded in 1853 in Toronto, however it currently has its headquarters of 3,000 employees in Markham, Ontario, as well as an office in Hamilton.
The company began operations as a bank on 01 July 1990 following an order-in-council made by the Brian Mulroney government on 21 November 1988. This decision was not without controversy as federal banking policy at the time would not ordinarily have permitted American Express to operate as a bank.
