About American Express
American Express Company (NYSE: AXP) — universally known as Amex — is one of the world’s most iconic financial services corporations, headquartered at 200 Vesey Street (Three World Financial Center) in the Battery Park City neighborhood of Lower Manhattan, New York City. Founded in 1850 in Buffalo, New York as an express mail and freight delivery company by Henry Wells, William Fargo, and John Butterfield, American Express transformed over 175 years into a globally dominant charge card, credit card, travel, and financial services company — serving millions of individual consumers, small businesses, and corporations across more than 130 countries.
In a landmark February 2026 announcement, American Express revealed plans to build a brand-new state-of-the-art global headquarters at 2 World Trade Center in Lower Manhattan — a 55-story, 2-million-square-foot tower designed by Foster + Partners, capable of accommodating up to 10,000 employees and anticipated to be completed by 2031. American Express will be the sole occupant of the building, marking the completion of the final commercial office tower at the World Trade Center campus.

Headquarters & Corporate Office Address
American Express has been anchored in Lower Manhattan since the late 19th century — one of the most enduring corporate presences in New York City’s financial history. The current global headquarters at 200 Vesey Street (formerly Three World Financial Center, also known as the American Express Tower) is a 51-floor, 739-foot glass and granite skyscraper within the Brookfield Place complex in Battery Park City, directly overlooking the Hudson River and adjacent to the World Trade Center site. The building has served as American Express’s world headquarters since 1985. By 2031, American Express will relocate to its brand-new purpose-built home at 2 World Trade Center — a 55-story, 2-million-square-foot tower designed by the celebrated architectural firm Foster + Partners, where Amex will be the sole occupant, deepening its commitment to Lower Manhattan for generations to come.
