Two Iconic Brands Offer Benefits to Small and Medium-Sized Businesses, Helping Drive Growth Ahead of the Holiday Season

As part of the annual UPS Impact Summit, UPS (NYSE: UPS) and American Express (NYSE: AXP) announced an expanded agreement to help small businesses grow and drive commerce in their communities. For the first time, UPS and American Express are rolling out new and exclusive offers to support small and medium-sized businesses (SMBs).

“UPS and American Express have both been trusted for over a century. Bringing our expertise together creates a powerful ecosystem for small businesses,” said UPS Chief Commercial and Strategy Officer Matt Guffey. “UPS is making strategic investments in areas important to SMBs like industry-leading service, flexible returns and seamless integration with our end-to-end smart logistics network. We know what it takes to help small businesses be unstoppable, and our collaboration with American Express is the perfect extension.”

Ahead of the busy holiday season, merchants can access exclusive savings from UPS via American Express’ Business Savings Suite. Savings span UPS air, ground and international shipping options and allow SMBs to save more as they ship more with UPS.

“Small businesses drive commerce around the world, and it’s the behind-the-scenes essentials like logistics and payments that keep these businesses running,” said Colleen Taylor, President of U.S. Merchant Services at American Express. “During the critical holiday season, when every transaction counts, small businesses often rely on credit cards to manage cash flow, stock inventory, and meet surging demand – all while looking for the best way to get their shipments where they need to go. That’s why Amex and UPS are teaming up to support small businesses during this make-or-break time of year.”

In addition to the Business Savings Suite discounts, American Express Small Business Card Members can visit the American Express Offers page and log in to their account to view eligible Amex Offers. Additional benefits and offers will be rolled out in the coming months.
