Key idiosyncratic risks

These actions have had and may likely continue to have broad consequences for the global economy and regional and country economies, as well as impacts to global supply chains and negative effects on our customers and partners, which may adversely affect our business.

Source: risk; filed 2026-02-06; SEC filing; fact QUOTE_AXP_RISK_7.

Source: risk; filed 2026-02-06; SEC filing; fact QUOTE_AXP_RISK_29.

On competition:

Source: risk; filed 2026-02-06; SEC filing; fact QUOTE_AXP_RISK_9.

Recent developments

On reported revenue movement:

Service fees and other revenue increased, primarily driven by higher foreign exchange-related revenues associated with Card Member cross-currency spending, a gain related to an equity transaction by GBTG, an equity method investee, resulting from its acquisition of CWT Holdings, LLC, and increases in network partnership revenue and loyalty coalition-related fees.
