                                                       Exhibit 99.1



         NEW YORK - October 23, 2000 -- AMERICAN EXPRESS COMPANY today reported
quarterly net income of $737 million, up from $648 million in the same period a
year ago. Diluted earnings per share rose 15 percent to $0.54 compared with
$0.47. Net revenues on a managed basis totaled $5.6 billion, up 13 percent from
$4.9 billion. The company's return on equity was 25.5 percent. These results
reflected strong earnings growth in all business segments, and met the company's
long-term targets of 12-15 percent earnings per share growth, at least 8 percent
growth in revenues and a return on equity of 18-20 percent.

         TRAVEL RELATED SERVICES (TRS) reported record quarterly net income of
$507 million, up 14 percent from $446 million in the third quarter a year ago.

         The TRS segment now includes earnings from Travelers Cheque (TC)
operations, which were unchanged from year-ago levels. Excluding TC, net income
for the remaining TRS business rose 15 percent from last year's third quarter.
TC results had previously been included in the American Express Bank/TC segment.

         TRS net revenues increased 14 percent, reflecting higher billed
business as well as strong growth in Cardmember loans. These improvements
resulted from an increase of 5.6 million cards in force, up 13 percent from a
year ago, and higher average spending per Cardmember. The higher spending was
driven by several factors, including rewards programs and expanded merchant
coverage. The net interest yield on Cardmember loans decreased from a year ago,
but increased from second quarter levels. The year-to-year decline mainly
reflects a higher percentage of loan balances on lower-rate products. Other
revenues increased, primarily reflecting higher fee income.

         The provision for losses on the charge card and lending portfolios rose
from the prior year as a result of higher volume, partly offset by improvement
in credit quality in the lending portfolio. Charge Card interest expense grew as
a result of higher volumes and an increased cost of funds. Other operating
expenses rose, reflecting in part the cost of Cardmember loyalty programs,
business growth and investment spending.

         The above discussion presents TRS results "on a managed basis" as if
there had been no securitization transactions, which conforms to industry
practice. The attached financials present TRS results on both a managed and
reported basis. Net income is the same in both formats.

         On a reported basis, TRS results for the third quarter of 2000 included
a securitization gain of $26 million ($17 million after-tax), compared with a
similar gain of $55 million ($36 million after-tax) a year ago. These gains were
offset by higher expenses related to card acquisition activities and therefore
had no material impact on net income or total expenses.

         AMERICAN EXPRESS FINANCIAL ADVISORS (AEFA) reported quarterly net
income of $269 million, up 12 percent from $240 million a year ago.

         Net revenues and earnings growth benefited from higher fee revenues due
to an increase in managed assets, which was partially offset by narrower spreads
on the investment portfolio. This increase reflected positive net sales and
market appreciation over the past 12 months. AEFA reported increases in sales of
mutual funds, annuities, and life and other insurance products. Human resources
expenses rose primarily as a result of an increase in financial advisors'
compensation, which reflected growth in sales and asset levels, the new advisor
platforms, and an increase in the total number of financial advisors.

         AMERICAN EXPRESS BANK (AEB) reported quarterly net income of $7 million
 compared with $5 million a year ago.

         Results for the current quarter reflect greater commission and fee
revenues and lower operating expenses, reflecting savings from reengineering
initiatives. These were partially offset by a decline in net interest income,
mainly due to higher funding costs.

         CORPORATE AND OTHER reported net expenses of $46 million, compared
with $43 million a year ago.
         American Express Company (http://www.americanexpress.com), founded
in 1850, is a global travel, financial and network services provider.

These Statements of Income are provided on a Managed Basis for analytical
purposes only. They present the income statements of TRS as if there had been no
securitization transactions. Under Statement of Financial Accounting Standards
No. 125 (SFAS No. 125), which prescribes the accounting for securitized
receivables, TRS recognized pretax gains of $26 million ($17 million after-tax)
and $55 million ($36 million after-tax) in the third quarters of 2000 and 1999,
respectively, related to the securitization of U.S. receivables. These gains
were invested in additional card acquisition activities and had no material
impact on Net Income or Total Expenses in either quarter. For purposes of this
presentation such gains and corresponding increases in Marketing and Promotion
and Other Operating Expenses have been eliminated in each quarter.

These Statements of Income are provided on a Managed Basis for analytical
purposes only. They present the income statements of TRS as if there had been no
securitization transactions. Under Statement of Financial Accounting Standards
No. 125 (SFAS No. 125), which prescribes the accounting for securitized
receivables, TRS recognized pretax gains of $26 million ($17 million after-tax)
in the third quarter of 2000, $80 million ($52 million after-tax) in the second
quarter of 2000, $36 million ($23 million after-tax) in the first quarter of
2000 and $55 million ($36 million after-tax) in the third quarter of 1999,
related to the securitization of U.S. receivables. These gains were invested in
additional card acquisition activities and had no material impact on Net Income
or Total Expenses in any quarter. For purposes of this presentation such gains
and corresponding increases in Marketing and Promotion and Other Operating
Expenses have been eliminated in each quarter.

Note: Unless indicated otherwise, the following discussion addresses the
      "managed basis" Statements of Income. The GAAP Statements of Income are
      also included in the Company's Earnings Release.

o    Net income within the TC business was flat while the remainder of TRS rose
     15%.

o    Revenues benefited from increased cards in force, higher worldwide billed
     business and strong growth in cardmember loans outstanding. Growth was
     suppressed by approximately 2% due to the impact of F/X translation.

o    The higher expenses reflect increased operating costs, primarily due to
     business growth, greater provisions for losses and higher interest
     expenses, which were partially offset by the impact of F/X translation.

o    Under Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 125 (SFAS 125), which
     prescribes the accounting for securitizations, TRS recognized pre-tax gains
     of $26MM ($17MM after-tax) in 3Q '00 and $55MM ($36MM after-tax) in 3Q '99
     related to the securitization of $0.8B and $1.5B of U.S. Lending
     receivables, respectively. These gains were offset by higher expenses
     related to card acquisition initiatives and, therefore, had no material
     impact on net income or total expenses in either period.

     For purposes of the above "managed basis" Statements of Income, which
     present TRS' results as if there had been no securitizations, such gains
     (reported on the GAAP Statements of Income as a $15MM and $31MM reduction
     in the Lending Provision for Losses in 3Q '00 and 3Q '99, respectively, and
     increases in Other Revenue and Lending Interest Expense) and corresponding
     growth in Marketing and Promotion and Other Operating Expenses have been
     eliminated.

o    The pre-tax margin was 16.4% in 3Q '00 versus 16.3% last year.

o    The effective tax rate was 30% in 3Q '00 and 2Q '00 versus 29% in 3Q '99.

o    DISCOUNT REVENUE:  Stronger billed business and a lower discount rate
     yielded a 15% increase in discount revenue.

     -    The average discount rate in 3Q '00 was 2.70% versus 2.73% in 3Q '99
          and 2.69% in 2Q '00. The decline from last year reflects the
          cumulative impact on our mix of business of stronger than average
          growth in lower rate retail and other "everyday spend" merchant
          categories (e.g., supermarkets, discounters, etc.)

          --   We believe the AXP value proposition is strong. However,
               continued changes in the mix of business, the continued shift to
               electronic data capture, volume related pricing discounts, and
               selective repricing initiatives will probably result in some rate
               erosion over time.*

</TABLE>

         (a) Proprietary card activity only.

     -    BILLED BUSINESS: The 17% increase in billed business resulted from
          growth in cards in force and higher spending per basic cardmember
          worldwide (due in part to increased merchant coverage and the benefits
          of rewards programs).
          --  U.S. billed business increased 19% reflecting continued strong
              growth, of approximately 20%, within the consumer and small
              business areas and high-teens volume expansion within Corporate
              Services.
              -   Spending per basic card in force grew 6% reflecting the
                  dilutive effect of multiple consecutive quarters of
                  particularly strong card growth.

          --  Excluding the impact of foreign exchange translation:
              -   Total billed business outside the U.S. rose approximately 16%
                  on double-digit increases in all regions.
              -   Spending per proprietary basic card in force outside the U.S.
                  rose 8%.

          --  Network partnership and Purchasing Card volumes sustained their
              stronger growth levels, in excess of the consolidated worldwide
              billed business growth rate.

          --  Retail and "everyday spend" categories continued to contribute
              strongly to worldwide business growth.

          --  Airline related volume rose double digits as the average airline
              charge was up and transaction volume increased.

     -    CARDS IN FORCE worldwide rose 13% versus last year.
          --   Strong U.S. card acquisitions during the quarter (400K net new
               cards added) reflect the continuation of proactive consumer card
               and small business services activities, including those related
               to the Blue and co-branded Costco card products.

          --   Outside the United States, cards in force rose 13% on continued
               proprietary card growth and particularly strong network card
               results.

</TABLE>

o    NET CARD FEES: Rose 5% as new cards in force were added. The average fee
     per card in force of $36 in 3Q '00 was flat with 2Q '00, but declined
     versus $38 in 3Q '99 as the mix evolved toward lower and no fee products.

o    NET FINANCE CHARGE REVENUE: Rose 24% on strong 32% growth in worldwide
     lending balances, which was partially offset by lower net interest yields.
     -    The yield on the U.S. portfolio declined to 7.8% in 3Q '00 versus 8.5%
          in 3Q '99 as funding costs rose and the mix of products evolved toward
          more fixed-rate and lower-rate offerings. The yield increase from 7.4%
          in 2Q '00 reflects the lagged effect of 2Q '00 interest rate increases
          on the revenue earned from cardmembers and a slight reduction in the
          proportion of the portfolio on introductory rates.
     -    The variance between the gross revenue and interest expense growth
          rates of 41% and 75%, respectively, reflects the evolving mix of
          products.

o    TRAVEL COMMISSIONS AND FEES: Declined 3% on a 2% contraction in travel
     sales due to the sale in 2Q '00 of the leisure travel activities of Havas
     Voyages in France. Excluding this impact, sales grew approximately 3%. The
     revenue earned per dollar of sales (8.0% in 3Q '00 and 8.1% in 3Q '99)
     reflects new fees related to certain client services, which were offset by
     the mix of sales activities and continued efforts by airlines to reduce
     distribution costs and by corporate clients to contain travel and
     entertainment expenses.

o    TC INVESTMENT INCOME: Was up 13% reflecting a higher TC investment pool and
     growth in Money Order related activities.

o    OTHER REVENUES: Increased 18% due to higher card-related and membership
     rewards fees, greater foreign exchange conversion revenues and ATM
     acquisitions.

o    MARKETING AND PROMOTION EXPENSES: Decreased by 2% on a GAAP reporting basis
     due to last year's Blue and Costco related activities and the effect of F/X
     translation. On a Managed Statement of Income basis, costs were 3% higher
     after the elimination of expenses corresponding to the SFAS 125 gains.

o    CHARGE CARD INTEREST EXPENSE: Rose 40% due to higher billed business
     volumes and a greater worldwide cost of funds.

o    HUMAN RESOURCE EXPENSES: Increased 3% versus last year as a result of a
     higher average number of employees and merit increases.
     -    The employee count at 9/00 of 74,300 was up approximately 1,200 versus
          last year primarily due to increased global technology business
          demands, greater business volumes and the substitution of contract
          programmers with full-time employees. In the quarter, the number of
          employees fell 800 reflecting the sale on 6/30/00 of the leisure
          travel activities of Havas Voyages.

o    OTHER OPERATING EXPENSES: Rose 18% on higher costs related to business
     growth, cardmember loyalty programs, professional fees for outsourcing
     activities and various business building initiatives.

o     CREDIT QUALITY:

      -  Overall, charge card and lending credit quality remained stable in the
         quarter at attractive levels.

      -  The provision for losses on charge card products was 11% above last
         year due to higher volumes.

      -  The lending provision for losses was 24% above last year, as growth
         in outstanding loans was partially offset by improved credit quality.

      -  Reserve coverage ratios at more than 100% of past due balances remained
         strong.

      -  WORLDWIDE CHARGE CARD:

         --  The write-off rate stayed near its historically low level, rising
             slightly from last quarter, but remaining below last year.  Past
             due rates improved versus last year and last quarter.

</TABLE>

o    Net revenue growth of 12% resulted from:
     -   Increased management fees from higher managed asset levels;
     -   Greater distribution fees from product sales and asset levels; and
     -   Higher insurance premiums; partially offset by
     -   Lower spreads on the investment portfolio products.


o    The pretax margin decline from 37.4% last year to 36.8% in 3Q '00 reflects
     the revenue dynamics discussed above, expense control initiatives, costs
     related to the platform transition process and the impact of larger
     investments in tax advantaged affordable housing projects. Excluding the
     effect of the affordable housing project investments pretax income would
     have grown faster.


o    The effective tax rate was 30.4% in 3Q '00, 30.5% in 2Q '00 and 31.4% in 3Q
     '99. 3Q '00 includes the realization of greater tax credits from affordable
     housing project investments which should continue to provide tax benefits
     in future quarters.*


o    During 1Q '00, reporting of data related to assets owned, managed and
     administered and cash sales was revised to better reflect AEFA's multiple
     sales channel strategy and the broadening of its product portfolio through
     additional non-proprietary offerings. Prior reporting did not capture the
     full range of products sold by AEFA. Therefore, asset and sales data now
     include all proprietary, non-proprietary and retirement services (e.g.,
     401k) products. All non-proprietary product related assets held within a
     "wrap-like" program are now included in "Assets Managed". All other
     non-proprietary product related assets are included in "Assets
     Administered", as are other non-proprietary assets within retirement
     services. All prior period results have been restated to conform with this
     presentation.

</TABLE>

o    INVESTMENT INCOME:
     -    Gross investment income increased 3% due to the effect last year of a
          decrease in the value of options hedging outstanding stock market
          certificates, which was offset by the negative impact in the current
          year of deterioration in the high yield bond sector on directly owned
          bonds and low grades in other structured investments, as well as a
          generally lower average yield.
     -    Average invested assets of $32.9B (excluding unrealized
          appreciation/depreciation) rose 3% versus $32.0B in 3Q '99.
     -    The average yield on invested assets was 7.1% versus 7.4% in 3Q '99
          including the items discussed above.
     -    Insurance, annuity and certificates spreads were down versus last year
          and last quarter.

o    ASSET QUALITY remains strong despite deterioration in the high yield
     portfolio.
     -    Non-performing assets relative to invested assets were 0.7% and were
          38% covered by reserves.
     -    The SFAS No. 115 related mark-to-market adjustment on the portfolio
          (reported in assets pre-tax) was depreciation of ($808MM) at 9/00
          versus ($999MM) at 6/00 and ($490MM) at 9/99.
     -   Unrealized  depreciation  on securities held to maturity was ($61MM) at
         9/00 and ($147MM) at 6/00 compared with appreciation of $89MM at 9/99.

o    MANAGEMENT AND DISTRIBUTION FEES: The increase of 21% was due to higher
     average assets under management, distribution fees from greater mutual fund
     sales and asset levels, and higher brokerage fees.

</TABLE>

       --   The growth in managed assets since 9/99 resulted from $27.6B of
            market appreciation and $10.3B of net new money.

       --   The $2.3B increase in managed assets during 3Q '00 resulted from net
            new money of $2.6B, offset by market depreciation of $0.3B.

o    PRODUCT SALES:
     -   Total gross cash sales from all products were up 29% over 3Q '99.
     -   Mutual fund sales increased 41% on particularly strong non-proprietary
         fund sales, which continued to occur predominately in "wrap" accounts.
         Within proprietary funds:
         --   Equity and money market fund sales grew; sales of bond funds
              declined.
         --   Sales of no-load funds improved; front-load and rear-load fund
              sales were down.
         --   Redemption rates continued to compare favorably with industry
              levels.
     -   Annuity sales were up 23%, as variable annuity sales were particularly
         strong as a result of new product offerings.
     -   Sales of insurance products increased 12% from new product offerings.
     -   Certificate sales decreased 18% reflecting particularly strong sales
         last year in certificates sold to clients outside the U.S. through a
         joint venture between AEFA and AEB.
     -   Institutional sales increased 29% reflecting both new accounts and
         additional contributions.
     -   Advisor product sales generated through financial planning and advice
         services were 69% of total sales in 3Q '00 versus 68% in 3Q '99.

                                            THIRD QUARTER 2000 OVERVIEW
                                   AMERICAN EXPRESS FINANCIAL ADVISORS (Cont'd)


o    OTHER REVENUES: Were up 16% reflecting higher life and property-casualty
     insurance premiums, greater fees from financial planning and advice
     services, the addition in 2000 of franchise fees from Platform 2 advisors
     and certain revenues related to non-prop funds.

     -   Financial planning and advice services fees of $26.1MM rose 17%
         versus 3Q '99.


o    PROVISIONS FOR LOSSES AND BENEFITS: Greater annuity product provisions
     resulted from higher accrual rates, offset by a smaller inforce level.
     Insurance provisions rose from higher inforce levels and accrual rates.
     Certificate provisions increased due to higher inforce levels and accrual
     rates, as well as the effect of substantial depreciation last year in the
     S&P 500 on the stock market certificate product.


o    HUMAN RESOURCES: Expenses were up 16% reflecting larger field force
     compensation-related expenses due to growth in sales and asset levels, and
     the new advisor platforms, offset somewhat by slower home office expense
     growth.

     -    TOTAL ADVISOR FORCE: 12,137 at 9/00; +1,506 advisors, or 14%, versus
          9/99 and up 651 advisors versus 6/00.

          --   The increase in advisors versus 6/00 reflects appointments
               related to the growing number of advisors in the pipeline over
               the last 6-9 months and recruiting of experienced advisors, a key
               platform strategy goal.

               -   Veteran advisor retention rates remain strong.


          --   While we continue to see strength in applicant testing and
               licensing activities, we plan to somewhat moderate advisor growth
               in coming quarters to ensure overall field force costs are
               appropriately contained and the benefits from recent advisor
               additions are maximized.*


          --   Total production, advisor productivity and client acquisition
               increased double digits versus last year.


               -    The total number of clients was up 13% while accounts per
                    client were down slightly versus 3Q '99 reflecting the
                    impact of new product offerings, including property and
                    casualty insurance and brokerage. Client retention continued
                    above 95%.


o    OTHER OPERATING EXPENSES: The 7% increase reflects costs related to higher
     business volumes and the implementation of the new advisor platforms,
     including greater rent and equipment support costs, which were partially
     offset by efforts to control core operating expense growth.

</TABLE>


o    Revenues fell 7% as higher commissions and fees were offset by lower
     foreign exchange and other revenue and net interest income. AEB's two
     individual oriented businesses continued to grow as Private Banking client
     holdings rose 18% and client volumes in Personal Financial Services
     increased 26%.

     -    Net interest income was down 15% versus last year primarily due to the
          effects of higher funding costs.

     -    Commissions and fees rose 18% on higher Private Banking, Correspondent
          Banking and Personal Financial Services fees.

     -    Foreign exchange income and other revenue declined due to lower
          security gains and joint venture earnings.

o    Human resources and other operating expenses were down reflecting
     reengineering saves, and lower related costs, as AEB rationalizes certain
     country activities.

o    AEB remained "well capitalized".

o    EXPOSURES
     -    AEB's loans outstanding were $5.1B at 9/00, 9/99 and 6/00. Activity
          since 9/99 included a $200MM decrease in corporate and correspondent
          bank loans and a $560MM increase in consumer and private banking
          loans, before the effect of asset sales and securitizations. Compared
          to 2Q '00, corporate and correspondent bank loans decreased $100MM,
          while consumer and private banking loans increased by $100MM. As of
          9/00, consumer and private banking loans comprised 39% of total loans
          versus 35% at 9/99.

     -    In addition to the loan portfolio, there are other banking activities,
          such as forward contracts, various contingencies and market
          placements, which added approximately $7.2B to the credit exposures at
          9/00 and 6/00, and $7.7B at 9/99. Of the $7.2B of additional exposures
          at 9/00, $4.7B were relatively less risky cash and securities related
          balances.

     o    Total non-performing loans of $156MM were down from $181MM at 9/99 and
          $174MM at 6/00 reflecting loan payments and write-offs, as well as
          changes in the credit status of loans.

     o    Other non-performing assets of $37MM at 9/00, primarily foreign
          exchange and derivatives contracts, decreased from $40MM at 9/99, and
          compared with $36MM at 6/00. The decline versus last year primarily
          reflects changes in the credit status of assets.

     o    AEB's total reserves at 9/00 of $179MM compared with $204MM at 9/99
          and $187MM at 6/00 and are allocated as follows:

     -   The decline versus both periods reflects the write-offs cited above.

o    Management formally reviews the loan portfolio and evaluates credit risk
     throughout the year. This evaluation takes into consideration the financial
     condition of the borrowers, fair market value of collateral, status of
     delinquencies, historical loss experience, industry trends, and the impact
     of current economic conditions. As of September 30, 2000 management
     believes the loss reserve is appropriate.
