American Express Co. unveiled its first-ever debit card as competition for small-business customers heats up.

The card will be part of a new digital business checking account, New York-based AmEx said in a statement Thursday. While other banks have long used AmEx’s network for debit cards of their own, this marks the first time the payments giant is issuing a debit card itself.
