TORONTO, Aug. 20, 2019 /CNW/ - American Express Canada is excited to announce the launch of American Express® Personal Loans, a new digital lending platform that offers personal loans. A targeted group of eligible customers (by invitation only) can apply for a loan online and receive their funds in as little as one to three business days.1 Whether making a major purchase, renovating their home, or experiencing significant life events, Personal Loans marks another way Amex has their customers' backs.

"American Express has always been committed to offering innovative solutions that meet and exceed our customers' needs," said Joe Ryan, Vice President, Consumer Lending, Insurance & Internal Acquisition, American Express Canada. "When we looked at expanding our lending portfolio, we made sure to create a solution that redefines the customer experience, one that's simple, convenient and digital.  No complicated paperwork or visits to a bank branch."
