European banks and merchants appear to be moving toward
a common payments system that will exclude American
Express. This would be the major blow to AmEx and make
signing up European merchants even more difficult. Further,

banks will be able to offer services offered by AmEx. This
increase in competition will increase tae challenges facing
American Express in the years ahead.
