American Express plans to return to market this year with a second issue from its American Express Credit Account Master Trust.
The deal, Series 2013-2, will offer investors $555.55 million of asset-backed notes that are secured by receivables generated by its consumer and small business charge accounts, according to a Fitch Ratings presale report.
Fitch assigned preliminary rating of ‘AAA’ to the $500 million class A notes.
