Financial Services Direct Mail at Scale
Modernize Direct Mail for 86 Million Cardmembers
American Express sets the standard for premium customer experiences — your direct mail should be no exception. Lob helps American Express automate, personalize, and track physical mail across card acquisition, compliance communications, and loyalty campaigns, bringing the same digital intelligence you apply online to every piece that reaches a Cardmember's mailbox.
Compliance-Ready Mail Automation
From adverse action notices to privacy disclosures, Lob ensures American Express's regulated communications are delivered accurately, on time, and with full audit trails — meeting AML, CFPB, and data protection requirements across jurisdictions.
Personalization at Cardmember Scale
Deliver hyper-personalized upgrade offers, cobrand promotions with partners like Delta and Marriott, and retention mailers to millions of Cardmembers — dynamically tailored using the same data science capabilities American Express already invests in.
End-to-End Tracking and Visibility
Gain real-time delivery intelligence on every piece of mail sent — from new card onboarding kits to small business acquisition campaigns — so American Express can measure performance with the same rigor applied to digital channels.
Seamless Integration With Existing Platforms
