A new American Express Singapore Airlines Business Credit Card for SMEs

American Express celebrates the 20 year partnership with Singapore Airlines today by launching the new American Express Singapore Airlines Business Credit Card.

This new credit card was launched to help small and medium sized enterprises better manage cash flow and turn business expenses into the benefits.

SMEs account for 99% of businesses in Singapore contributing to hiring 73% of the workforce and 48% of Singapore’s GDP.

Results from a SMEs Go Places 2019 survey conducted in June this year by American Express showed that 59% were kept awake because of increasing competition, 52% by cash flow management and 42% by access to capital to grow the business. The survey also revealed that 61% go to Malaysia, 54% visit China, 35% Thailand, 34% Indonesia and 29% Australia. Owners travel an average of 7.6 trips per year and 70% of SMEs have employees who travel 2 or more times a month.
