(Reuters) - Credit card issuer American Express Co (AXP.N) reported about 19 percent jump in quarterly profit as higher billings and loan growth helped offset a jump in costs.
Net income attributable to common shareholders rose to $1.36 billion, or $1.50 per share, in the third quarter ended Sept. 30, from $1.14 billion, or $1.20 per share, a year earlier.
Total revenue, net of interest expense, rose 9 percent to $8.44 billion.
