About American Express Sharepeople

American Express Sharepeople is one of the leading online brokers in the UK. American Express Sharepeople is the umbrella marketing name for Sharepeople Limited which became one of the American Express group companies following an acquisition in January 2001. The American Express group is one of the world’s leading card and travel service providers. American Express Sharepeople brings together the innovations and market expertise of the retail broking industry with one of the most respected and recognisable service brands in the world. American Express Sharepeople will utilise the strengths of its parent brand along with the experience and knowledge of the Sharepeople team to continue to offer a broad range of investment services aimed at empowering and educating the private investor.

"American Express Sharepeople is committed to making our customers feel valued through the provision of exceptional service. Delivering such service can only be achieved if we have in place both the systems and the people to facilitate it. We strongly believe that we have both. A system, which takes on-line broking into a new dimension and people with years of knowledge and experience in their particular fields.

Our people are dedicated and motivated to meeting the high standards we expect from them. They are encouraged and supported to develop themselves personally and professionally at every opportunity. We do this through creating an environment where people work together, share ideas and continually improve. Everyone in the business has the opportunity to make a difference regardless of who they are or where they work."

Ivan Schouker, CEO American Express Sharepeople
