Help reinvent currency for a living by applying for a Digital Commerce summer internship at American Express.

The digital age brings a new world of opportunity. People are spending their lives in The Cloud. They’re using their phones instead of their wallets, replacing check signing with mobile payments, and transacting with multiple devices and platforms. In response, we’re using digital channels to serve and deepen these relationships by mobilizing communities through social media, delivering location based offers via mobile phones and tablets, evolving Membership Rewards as a social currency, developing new partnerships, and inserting American Express into digital trends beyond payments and into everyday moments.
