The American Express Credit Card – An Excellent Choice for Your Business By: Groshan Fabiola There will be a time when real paper or metal money will cease to exist the way they exist today. There was a certain step made when the banks or the credit companies introduced the “plastic”. And by “plastic” I mean the very efficient credit cards.
