American Express Company Semi-Annual Political Contributions Report July-December 2019

American Express participates in the political process through the American Express Company Political Action Committee (AXP PAC) and through corporate political contributions in those jurisdictions where it is permissible to do so. AXP PAC is supported entirely through voluntary contributions from those who are eligible. We do not spend corporate funds directly on electioneering communications, and our PAC does not contribute to presidential campaigns.

In this report, which is updated semi-annually and posted on our company website, we provide information about all political contributions made through our PAC or with corporate funds to political candidates, parties and committees. We also disclose contributions to other political entities organized and operating under 26 U.S.C. Sec. 527 of the Internal Revenue Code; independent political expenditures; dues used for political purposes by trade associations that respond to our request, entities organized under section 501(c) 4 of the Code, and other tax exempt organizations (that receive in excess of $50,000 during the calendar year from the Company); and payments made to influence the outcome of ballot measures as defined under Subsection 162(e)(1)(B) of the Code. In addition, we include a list of principal U.S. trade and industry associations to which we have paid annual dues of $50,000 or more in the most recent fiscal year and the portion of our dues or payments made that are used for lobbying purposes under section 162(e) of the Internal Revenue Code.

American Express Company Trade Associations and Memberships

Trade and industry associations offer a variety of benefits including monitoring industry policies and trends, providing industry and market expertise, and advancing the Company’s public policy interests. Some of these associations engage in lobbying on behalf of their members. American Express provides to the trade and industry associations our view on public policy issues. However, we recognize that Company participation in trade and industry associations does not mean that the Company agrees with every position a trade or industry association takes on an issue. The Company evaluates its memberships in trade associations to ensure that they serve the long-term interests of the Company.

We request information regarding political contributions from those trade associations, entities organized under section 501(c) 4 of the Code, and other tax exempt organizations of which we are a member that engage in non-deductible lobbying and political expenditures under Code section 162(e). We request that any organization that has received more than $50,000 from us in any calendar year identify the portion of our payments used, if any, in connection with participation or intervention in a political campaign on behalf of (or in opposition to) any ballot initiative or candidate for public office, as defined under Subsection 162(e)(1)(B) of the Code. We include any amounts reported to us as used for such purposes in this political contributions report.

In 2019, of the five trade associations that replied to the request, no dues payments were used in connection with participation or intervention in a political campaign on behalf of (or in opposition to) any ballot initiative or candidate for public office, as defined under Subsection 162(e)(1)(B) of the Code.

We will reach out to trade associations in the 4th quarter of 2020.

Each trade and industry association is required to identify the portion of dues or payments made that are used for lobbying purposes (and thus non-deductible lobbying expenditures under section 162(e) of the Internal Revenue Code). A list of the principal U.S. trade and industry associations to which we paid annual dues in 2019 of $50,000 or more for membership, and that portion of our dues that they have reported to us is provided below.

Trade or Industry Association(1) Lobbying Amount American Bankers Association $101,500.00 Bank Policy Institute $36,000.00 Consumer Bankers Association $78,202.00
