Amex's B2B servicing model: Hand-holding through the messy middle of digitization - Tearsheet
Briefly

Moving from checks and paper invoices to digital payments is messy, slow, and full of friction that can stall businesses mid-transition. American Express helps businesses in that in-between space by smoothing the handoff to virtual cards, APIs, and faster payment rails through a servicing model. Beyond launching digital products, the firm provides hands-on support to ensure clients adopt and consistently use new payment tools. Servicing teams evolve alongside technology and tools, adapting processes and structures under a One Amex approach to coordinate support. Generative AI is being explored to make servicing faster, smarter, and more predictive.
