Organization, Consolidation and Presentation of Financial Statements [Abstract]
Basis of Presentation	Basis of Presentation The Company American Express Credit Corporation (Credco) is a wholly owned subsidiary of TRS, which is a wholly owned subsidiary of American Express Company (American Express). Credco is engaged in the business of financing certain non-interest-earning Card Member receivables arising from the use of the American Express charge cards issued in the United States and in certain countries outside the United States. Credco also finances certain interest-earning revolving loans generated by Card Member spending on American Express credit cards issued in non-U.S. markets. Credco executes material transactions with its affiliates. The agreements between Credco and its affiliates provide that the parties intend that the transactions thereunder be conducted on an arm’s-length basis and the price at which receivables are sold to Credco be at fair value. Credco maintains its fixed charge coverage ratio (FCCR) at a minimum of 1.25. The FCCR is achieved by charging appropriate discount rates on the purchase of receivables Credco makes from, and the interest rates on the loans Credco provides to, TRS and other American Express subsidiaries. Each monthly period, the discount and interest rates are determined to generate income for Credco that is sufficient to maintain its minimum FCCR, whilst complying with the parties’ intention for these transactions to occur on an arm’s-length basis. Should it be required, TRS would provide Credco with financial support in the form of capital contributions with respect to maintenance of its 1.25 minimum FCCR as required in its committed bank credit facility. The revenue earned by Credco from purchasing Card Member receivables and Card Member loans at a discount is reported as Discount revenue earned from purchased Card Member receivables and Card Member loans on the Consolidated Statements of Income. The accompanying Consolidated Financial Statements should be read in conjunction with the Consolidated Financial Statements included in Credco’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2020. If not materially different, certain note disclosures included therein have been omitted from these Consolidated Financial Statements. The interim Consolidated Financial Statements included in this report have not been audited. In the opinion of management, all adjustments, which consist of normal recurring adjustments necessary for a fair statement of the interim Consolidated Financial Statements, have been made. Results of operations reported for interim periods are not necessarily indicative of results for the entire year. The preparation of Consolidated Financial Statements in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America (GAAP) requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets, liabilities, revenues and expenses. These accounting estimates reflect the best judgment of management, but actual results could differ.

Card Member Receivables and Card Member Loans Aging Generally, a Card Member account is considered past due if payment is not received within 30 days after the billing statement date. The following table presents the aging of Card Member receivables and Card Member loans as of June 30, 2021 and December 31, 2020: 2021 (Millions) Current 30-59 60-89 90+ Total Card Member Receivables: Global Consumer Services Group $ 2,157 $ 3 $ 2 $ 7 $ 2,169 Global Commercial Services Global Small Business Services 1,101 3 1 4 1,109 Global Corporate Payments (a) (b) (b) (b) 24 9,590 Card Member Loans: Global Consumer Services Group $ 474 $ 1 $ 1 $ 3 $ 479 2020 (Millions) Current 30-59 60-89 90+ Total Card Member Receivables: Global Consumer Services Group $ 2,139 $ 5 $ 4 $ 9 $ 2,157 Global Commercial Services Global Small Business Services 1,047 3 2 5 1,057 Global Corporate Payments (a) (b) (b) (b) 32 8,943 Card Member Loans: Global Consumer Services Group $ 493 $ 2 $ 1 $ 4 $ 500 (a) Global Corporate Payments (GCP) reflects global, large and middle market corporate accounts. Delinquency data is tracked based on days past billing status rather than days past due. A Card Member account is considered 90 days past billing if payment has not been received within 90 days of the Card Member’s billing statement date. In addition, if collection procedures are initiated on an account prior to the account becoming 90 days past billing, the associated Card Member receivable balance is classified as 90 days past billing. These amounts are shown above as 90+ Days Past Due for presentation purposes. See also (b). (b) Delinquency data for periods other than 90+ days past billing is not available due to system constraints. Therefore, such data has not been utilized for risk management purposes. The balances that are current to 89 days past due can be derived as the difference between the Total and the 90+ Days Past Due balances. Credit Quality Indicators for Card Member Receivables and Card Member Loans The following tables present the key credit quality indicators as of or for the six months ended June 30: 2021 2020 Net Write-Off Rate (a) 30+ Days Past Due as a % of Total Net Write-Off Rate (a) 30+ Days Past Due as a % of Total Card Member Receivables: Global Consumer Services Group 0.84 % 0.55 % 1.45 % 1.89 % Global Small Business Services 1.34 % 0.72 % 2.13 % 1.39 % Global Corporate Payments 0.31 % (b) 1.26 % (b) Card Member Loans: Global Consumer Services Group 3.07 % 1.04 % 2.03 % 2.18 % (a) Represents the amount of Card Member receivables or Card Member loans owned by Credco that are written off, net of recoveries, expressed as a percentage of the average Card Member receivable or Card Member loan balances in each of the periods indicated. (b) For GCP Card Member receivables, delinquency data is tracked based on days past billing status rather than days past due. Delinquency data for periods other than 90+ days past billing is not available due to system constraints. 90+ Days Past Billing as a % of total is 0.25% and 1.98% as of June 30, 2021 and 2020, respectively.

Reserves for Credit Losses

Reserves for Credit Losses	6 Months Ended

Receivables [Abstract]
Reserve for Credit Losses	Reserves for Credit Losses American Express has in place an enterprise-wide credit risk management process and manages the overall credit risk exposure associated with the Card Member receivables and Card Member loans, including those purchased by Credco. Reserves for credit losses represent Credco’s best estimate of the expected credit losses in Credco’s outstanding portfolio of Card Member receivables and Card Member loans, as of the balance sheet date. The CECL methodology, requires Credco’s management to estimate lifetime expected credit losses by incorporating historical loss experience, as well as current and future economic conditions over a reasonable and supportable period (R&S Period), which is approximately three years, beyond the balance sheet date. American Express makes various judgments combined with historical loss experience to determine a reserve rate that is applied to the outstanding loan or receivable balance to produce a reserve for expected credit losses. American Express uses a combination of statistically-based models that incorporate current and future economic conditions throughout the R&S Period. The process of estimating expected credit losses is based on several key models: Probability of Default (PD), Exposure at Default (EAD), and future recoveries for each month of the R&S Period. Beyond the R&S Period, American Express estimates expected credit losses by immediately reverting to long-term average loss rates. • PD models are used to estimate the likelihood an account will be written-off. • EAD models are used to estimate the balance of an account at the time of write-off. This includes balances less expected repayments based on historical payment and revolve behavior, which vary by customer. Due to the nature of revolving loan portfolios, the EAD models are complex and involve assumptions regarding the relationship between future spend and payment behaviors. • Recovery models are used to estimate amounts that are expected to be received from Card Members after default occurs, typically as a result of collection efforts. Future recoveries are estimated taking into consideration the time of default, time elapsed since default and macroeconomic conditions. American Express also estimates the likelihood and magnitude of recovery of previously written off accounts considering how long ago the account was written off and future economic conditions. American Express models are developed using historical loss experience covering the economic cycle and consider the impact of account characteristics on expected losses. Future economic conditions that are incorporated over the R&S Period include multiple macroeconomic scenarios provided to American Express by an independent third party. American Express reviews these economic scenarios and applies judgment to weight them in order to reflect the uncertainty surrounding these scenarios. These macroeconomic scenarios contain certain variables, including unemployment rates and real gross domestic product (GDP), that are significant to American Express’ models. American Express also evaluates whether to include qualitative reserves to cover losses that are expected but, in its assessment, may not be adequately represented in the quantitative methods or the economic assumptions. American Express considers whether to adjust the quantitative reserves (higher or lower) to address possible limitations within the models or factors not included within the models, such as external conditions, emerging portfolio trends, the nature and size of the portfolio, portfolio concentrations, the volume and severity of past due accounts, or American Express’ risk actions. Lifetime losses for most of Credco’s Card Member receivables and Card Member loans are evaluated at an appropriate level of granularity, including assessment on a pooled basis where financial assets share similar risk characteristics, such as past spend and remittance behaviors, credit bureau scores where available, delinquency status, tenure of balance outstanding, amongst others. Credit losses on accrued interest are measured and presented as part of Reserves for credit losses on the Consolidated Balance Sheets and within the Provisions for credit losses in the Consolidated Statements of Income, rather than reversing interest income. Card Member receivable and Card Member loan balances are written off when American Express considers amounts to be uncollectible, which is generally determined by the number of days past due and is typically no later than 180 days past due for pay in full or revolving loans. Card Member receivables and Card Member loans in bankruptcy or owed by deceased individuals are generally written off upon notification. The following table reflects the range of macroeconomic scenario key variables used in conjunction with other inputs, to calculate reserves for credit losses: U.S. Unemployment Rate U.S. GDP Growth (Contraction) (a) June 30, 2021 December 31, 2020 June 30, 2021 December 31, 2020 Second quarter of 2021 6% 8% - 10% 11% 4% - (4)% Fourth quarter of 2021 4% - 8% 7% - 11% 7% - (3)% 6% - (2)% Fourth quarter of 2022 4% - 9% 6% - 12% 2% 4% - 3% Fourth quarter of 2023 3% - 7% 4% - 10% 3% - 2% 5% - 3% (a) Real GDP quarter over quarter percentage change seasonally adjusted to annualized rates. Changes in Card Member Receivables Reserve for Credit Losses Card Member receivables reserve for credit losses decreased and ended in a debit reserve balance for the three and six months ended June 30, 2021, driven by reserve releases due to improving macroeconomic outlooks, which resulted in an expectation that recoveries will more than off-set write-offs. These reserve releases were partially offset by a reserve build related to an increase in the outstanding balance of receivables. Card Member receivables reserve for credit losses increased for the three and six months ended June 30, 2020, driven by the deterioration of the global macroeconomic outlook, as a result of the COVID-19 pandemic. The increase for the six months ended June 30, 2020 was partially offset by a decline in the outstanding balance of receivables.

Derivative Instruments and Hedging Activities Disclosure [Abstract]
Derivatives and Hedging Activities	Derivatives and Hedging Activities Credco uses derivative financial instruments to manage exposures to various market risks. These instruments derive their value from an underlying variable or multiple variables, including interest rates and foreign exchange rates, and are carried at fair value on the Consolidated Balance Sheets. These instruments enable end users to increase, reduce or alter exposure to various market risks and, for that reason, are an integral component of Credco’s market risk management. Credco does not transact in derivatives for trading purposes. A majority of Credco’s derivative assets and liabilities as of June 30, 2021 and December 31, 2020 are subject to master netting agreements with its derivative counterparties. Accordingly, where appropriate, Credco has elected to present derivative assets and liabilities with the same counterparty on a net basis in the Consolidated Balance Sheets. In relation to Credco’s credit risk, certain of Credco’s bilateral derivative agreements include provisions that allow Credco’s counterparties to terminate the agreement in the event of a downgrade of Credco’s debt credit rating below investment grade and settle the outstanding net liability position. As of June 30, 2021, these derivatives were not in a material net liability position. Based on Credco’s assessment of the credit risk of its derivative counterparties and its own credit risk as of June 30, 2021 and December 31, 2020, no credit risk adjustment to the derivative portfolio was required. The following table summarizes the total fair value, excluding interest accruals, of derivative assets and liabilities as of June 30, 2021 and December 31, 2020: Other Assets Other Liabilities Fair Value Fair Value (Millions) 2021 2020 2021 2020 Derivatives designated as hedging instruments: Fair value hedges - Interest rate contracts (a) $ — $ — $ — $ — Net investment hedges - Foreign exchange contracts 44 1 17 195 Total derivatives designated as hedging instruments 44 1 17 195 Derivatives not designated as hedging instruments: Foreign exchange contracts 62 48 49 89 Total derivatives, gross 106 49 66 284 Derivative asset and derivative liability netting (b) (22) (15) (22) (15) Total derivatives, net $ 84 $ 34 $ 44 $ 269 (a) For Credco’s centrally cleared derivatives, variation margin payments are legally characterized as settlement payments as opposed to collateral. (b) Represents the amount of netting of derivative assets and derivative liabilities executed with the same counterparties under an enforceable master netting arrangement. Credco posted $6 million and $12 million as of June 30, 2021 and December 31, 2020, respectively, as initial margin on its centrally cleared interest rate swaps; such amounts are recorded within Other assets in Credco’s Consolidated Balance Sheets and are not netted against the derivative balances. Fair Value Hedges Credco is exposed to interest rate risk associated with its fixed-rate debt obligations. At the time of issuance, certain fixed-rate long-term debt obligations are designated in fair value hedging relationships, using interest rate swaps, to economically convert the fixed interest rate to a floating interest rate. Credco had $1.8 billion and $3.5 billion of its fixed-rate debt obligations designated in fair value hedging relationships as of June 30, 2021 and December 31, 2020, respectively. The following table presents the gains and losses recognized in Interest expense in the Consolidated Statements of Income associated with the fair value hedges of Credco’s fixed-rate long-term debt for the three and six months ended June 30 : Gains (losses) Three Months Ended Six Months Ended (Millions) 2021 2020 2021 2020 Fixed-rate long-term debt $ 10 $ — $ 21 $ (66) Derivatives designated as hedging instruments (9) (7) (21) 72 Total $ 1 $ (7) $ — $ 6 The carrying values of the hedged liabilities, recorded within Long-term debt on the Consolidated Balance Sheets, were $1.8 billion and $3.5 billion as of June 30, 2021 and December 31, 2020, respectively, including the cumulative amount of fair value hedging adjustments of $19 million and $40 million for the respective periods. Credco recognized net decreases of $10 million and $14 million in Interest expense on Long-term debt for the three months ended June 30, 2021 and 2020, respectively, and net decreases of $22 million and $12 million for the six months ended June 30, 2021 and 2020, respectively, primarily related to the net settlements (including interest accruals) on Credco’s interest rate derivatives designated as fair value hedges. Net Investment Hedges Credco primarily designates foreign currency derivatives as net investment hedges to reduce its exposure to changes in currency exchange rates on its investments in non-U.S. subsidiaries. Credco had notional amounts of approximately $3.2 billion and $2.9 billion of foreign currency derivatives designated as net investment hedges as of June 30, 2021 and December 31, 2020, respectively. The gain or loss on net investment hedges, net of taxes, recorded in AOCI as part of the cumulative translation adjustment was a loss of $27 million and $216 million for the three months ended June 30, 2021 and 2020, respectively, and a loss of $21 million and a gain of $130 million for the six months ended June 30, 2021 and 2020, respectively. Derivatives Not Designated as Hedges The changes in the fair value of derivatives that are not designated as hedges are intended to offset the related foreign exchange gains or losses of the underlying foreign currency exposures. Credco had notional amounts of approximately $7.5 billion and $6.7 billion as of June 30, 2021 and December 31, 2020, respectively. The changes in the fair value of the derivatives and the related underlying foreign currency exposures resulted in a net loss of $1 million and a net gain of $5 million for the three months ended June 30, 2021 and 2020, respectively, and a net loss of $2 million and a net gain of $16 million for the six months ended June 30, 2021 and 2020, respectively, that are recognized in Other, net expenses in the Consolidated Statements of Income.

Income Tax Disclosure [Abstract]
Income Taxes	Income Taxes The results of operations of Credco are included in the consolidated U.S. federal income tax return of American Express. Under an agreement with American Express, provision for income taxes is recognized on a separate company basis. If benefits for net operating losses, future tax deductions and foreign tax credits cannot be recognized on a separate company basis, such benefits are then recognized based upon a share, derived by formula, of those deductions and credits that are recognizable on an American Express consolidated reporting basis. The effective tax rate was 13.9 percent and 28.1 percent for the three months ended June 30, 2021 and 2020, respectively, and 13.5 percent and 33.3 percent for the six months ended June 30, 2021 and 2020, respectively. The decrease for both periods primarily reflected the impact of discrete tax charges and lower pretax income in the prior year. The tax rate in each of the periods also reflected the favorable impact of Credco’s ongoing funding activities outside the United States. Credco’s provision for income taxes for interim financial periods is not based on an estimated annual effective rate due to volatility in certain components of revenues and expenses that prevents Credco from projecting a reliable estimate of full year pretax income. A discrete calculation of the provision for income taxes is recorded for each interim period. Credco is under continuous examination by the Internal Revenue Service (IRS) and tax authorities in other countries and states in which it has significant business operations. The tax years under examination and open for examination vary by jurisdiction. Credco is currently under examination by the IRS for the 2017 and 2018 tax years. Credco believes it is reasonably possible that its unrecognized tax benefits could decrease by an immaterial amount within the next 12 months, principally as a result of potential resolutions of prior years’ tax items with various taxing authorities. The prior years’ tax items include unrecognized tax benefits relating to the deductibility of certain expenses or losses and the attribution of taxable income to a particular jurisdiction or jurisdictions. The resolution of such items would not have a material impact on Credco’s effective tax rate.

Organization, Consolidation and Presentation of Financial Statements [Abstract]
Basis of Presentation	The preparation of Consolidated Financial Statements in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America (GAAP) requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets, liabilities, revenues and expenses. These accounting estimates reflect the best judgment of management, but actual results could differ.
Reserves for Credit Losses	American Express has in place an enterprise-wide credit risk management process and manages the overall credit risk exposure associated with the Card Member receivables and Card Member loans, including those purchased by Credco. Reserves for credit losses represent Credco’s best estimate of the expected credit losses in Credco’s outstanding portfolio of Card Member receivables and Card Member loans, as of the balance sheet date. The CECL methodology, requires Credco’s management to estimate lifetime expected credit losses by incorporating historical loss experience, as well as current and future economic conditions over a reasonable and supportable period (R&S Period), which is approximately three years, beyond the balance sheet date. American Express makes various judgments combined with historical loss experience to determine a reserve rate that is applied to the outstanding loan or receivable balance to produce a reserve for expected credit losses. American Express uses a combination of statistically-based models that incorporate current and future economic conditions throughout the R&S Period. The process of estimating expected credit losses is based on several key models: Probability of Default (PD), Exposure at Default (EAD), and future recoveries for each month of the R&S Period. Beyond the R&S Period, American Express estimates expected credit losses by immediately reverting to long-term average loss rates. • PD models are used to estimate the likelihood an account will be written-off. • EAD models are used to estimate the balance of an account at the time of write-off. This includes balances less expected repayments based on historical payment and revolve behavior, which vary by customer. Due to the nature of revolving loan portfolios, the EAD models are complex and involve assumptions regarding the relationship between future spend and payment behaviors. • Recovery models are used to estimate amounts that are expected to be received from Card Members after default occurs, typically as a result of collection efforts. Future recoveries are estimated taking into consideration the time of default, time elapsed since default and macroeconomic conditions. American Express also estimates the likelihood and magnitude of recovery of previously written off accounts considering how long ago the account was written off and future economic conditions. American Express models are developed using historical loss experience covering the economic cycle and consider the impact of account characteristics on expected losses. Future economic conditions that are incorporated over the R&S Period include multiple macroeconomic scenarios provided to American Express by an independent third party. American Express reviews these economic scenarios and applies judgment to weight them in order to reflect the uncertainty surrounding these scenarios. These macroeconomic scenarios contain certain variables, including unemployment rates and real gross domestic product (GDP), that are significant to American Express’ models. American Express also evaluates whether to include qualitative reserves to cover losses that are expected but, in its assessment, may not be adequately represented in the quantitative methods or the economic assumptions. American Express considers whether to adjust the quantitative reserves (higher or lower) to address possible limitations within the models or factors not included within the models, such as external conditions, emerging portfolio trends, the nature and size of the portfolio, portfolio concentrations, the volume and severity of past due accounts, or American Express’ risk actions. Lifetime losses for most of Credco’s Card Member receivables and Card Member loans are evaluated at an appropriate level of granularity, including assessment on a pooled basis where financial assets share similar risk characteristics, such as past spend and remittance behaviors, credit bureau scores where available, delinquency status, tenure of balance outstanding, amongst others. Credit losses on accrued interest are measured and presented as part of Reserves for credit losses on the Consolidated Balance Sheets and within the Provisions for credit losses in the Consolidated Statements of Income, rather than reversing interest income.
Derivatives	Credco uses derivative financial instruments to manage exposures to various market risks. These instruments derive their value from an underlying variable or multiple variables, including interest rates and foreign exchange rates, and are carried at fair value on the Consolidated Balance Sheets.The changes in the fair value of derivatives that are not designated as hedges are intended to offset the related foreign exchange gains or losses of the underlying foreign currency exposures. Credco had notional amounts of approximately $7.5 billion and $6.7 billion as of June 30, 2021 and December 31, 2020, respectively.

Delinquency data is tracked based on days past billing status rather than days past due. A Card Member account is considered 90 days past billing if payment has not been received within 90 days of the Card Member’s billing statement date. In addition, if collection procedures are initiated on an account prior to the account becoming 90 days past billing, the associated Card Member receivable balance is classified as 90 days past billing. These amounts are shown above as 90+ Days Past Due for presentation purposes. See also (b). (b) Delinquency data for periods other than 90+ days past billing is not available due to system constraints. Therefore, such data has not been utilized for risk management purposes. The balances that are current to 89 days past due can be derived as the difference between the Total and the 90+ Days Past Due balances.
