I’m thrilled to share a major milestone in our journey—Center has entered into an agreement to be acquired by American Express.

When we founded Center, the vision was clear: make expense management as seamless as swiping a card. We’ve always believed that card and expense should be deeply connected, giving businesses real-time visibility, control, and ease over how they manage spending.

Joining forces with American Express is an exciting opportunity to accelerate innovation, expand our offerings, and deliver even greater value to our customers. By combining our best-in-class expense management technology with Amex’s leading commercial card products, together we have a unique opportunity to deliver the next generation of commercial cards for small to medium-sized companies. As we move forward, we are focused on ensuring a smooth transition and building on our shared commitment to making expense management simpler and more effective for businesses and employees alike.

I want to thank our incredible team and investors, and especially our customers, for your trust and support. We are immensely grateful and look forward to what’s ahead.
