AMERICAN EXPRESS COMPANY | CUSIP issuer 025816
49 FR Y-9C filings, Q1 2009 through Q1 2021 (report dates Mar 31, 2009 to Mar 31, 2021). Consolidated assets peak at $198.31B at Q4 2019. At its last filing the balance sheet is $193.07B of assets against $168.58B of liabilities and $24.45B of equity capital, which ranks 19 of 349 filers at Q1 2021 and is 0.77% of everything they consolidate. That is the last quarter of the panel, so this entity was still filing when the source ends.
At Q1 2021 this filer’s assets minus liabilities minus equity capital leave $34.0M unaccounted for. That is not an error in the data: TOTAL_EQUITY_CAPITAL on the FR Y-9C is common and preferred equity and excludes noncontrolling (minority) interests in consolidated subsidiaries. Book debt on this page is therefore the reported liabilities column, never assets minus equity.
Consolidated balance sheet
Assets and liabilities as filed, every quarter this entity reported. Thousands of US dollars, nominal.

Capital ratios
Equity capital over assets, and Tier 1 over assets. Tier 1 is reported in 49 of this entity’s 49 filings; quarters where it is not reported are left out of the line rather than plotted as zero.
