Am-Ex: Don’t leave for shags without it

American Express has signed a deal with Barclays (Barclaycard) and the A-Ex will be available in Kenya from May 1. Barclays currently issues Visa cards, but so many banks (KCB, NBK, Co-op, CBA, Prime etc) now have cards from Visa that they no longer have the prestige and exclusivity that Barclays wants to project. Operations will be process via Barclaycard centre, Nairobi and teh Am-Ex card will later be rolled out in eight other African countries.
