Today, American Express announced the proposed acquisition of leading European restaurant booking platform TheFork, to grow our dining offering in the region. “Dining is one of the most important ways people engage with our brand,” said Rafa Marquez, President of International Card Services at American Express. “Over time, the proposed acquisition would help us enrich our differentiated Membership Model by offering Card Members more ways to discover, book and access great restaurants, while helping our partners reach more diners and grow their businesses. TheFork has built a successful platform across Europe with strong relationships throughout the restaurant industry that would complement our existing capabilities. We look forward to supporting TheFork’s continued growth and building on its success as we strengthen our dining presence across Europe.” Read more, including important information regarding forward-looking statements: https://go.amex/29phB8
