American Express slides back into the financial planning game 16 years after it sold off Ameriprise; expect success, experts say
AmEx is doing a U-turn to get back into financial planning now that competitors VISA and Mastercard are expressing an interest in the business.

When Duston Hamilton sees a USAA Insurance commercial on television, the former marine says he gets disgusted. He’s a general contractor who helps hailstorm victims repair their homes. “The TV ads are very misleading,” he says of the San Antonio-based insurance giant that caters to retired and active members of the military. “They’re using this commercial to say it’s an honor and a privilege that we can provide you with an insurance company,” he says. “But they’re not paying people what they are owed.
