However popular American Express might be in the United States, their positions in Canada are not nearly as strong – none of Canada’s top five banks: Bank of Nova Scotia, Bank of Montreal, Royal Bank of Canada, CIBC and the Toronto Dominion Bank have included American express cards in their loan portfolios. Back in 2002, Canadian Imperial Bank of Commerce started issuing a line of AmEx cards under the brand entourage. The AmEx suite of the Canadian Imperial Bank of Commerce included the American Express Smart Card, Platinum American Express Card, and the Business American Express Card. However in 2004, the management of Canadian Imperial Bank of Commerce decided to discontinue the co-issuing deal with American Express, and they have now included VISA credit cards in their loan portfolio. Discussions on some internet forums suggest that many holders of AmEx cards in Canada have switched to VISA because of the higher acceptance of the latter.
