American Express
No other financial services company enjoys the reputation and brand that American Express (AXP) has.

American Express also courts a different consumer than Visa or MasterCard. By focusing on big-spending buyers, AmEx actually has higher dollar volume than its rivals, even if those competitors have more cardholders.

While other firms have tried to pursue consumption spending the way American Express has been able to, most have been stuck playing catch-up, effectively offering "knock offs" of AmEx's Centurion card. As long as this firm can keep its niche happy, shareholders should remain happy too.
