Hi Harsh,

There are certification courses for Business Analyst. you can look for them on internet and they are easy to find with terms like BABOK guide.
In case you are interested in being a Business Analyst in IT, specific advice for you would be to seek a position in American Express team of Business Analysts. Or Business Analyst position in the IT company which is handling IT work for American Express.

In case you are interested in being a Business analyst on the Business side, which is more of Operations analyst, strategy analyst, process analyst roles as a Business Analyst, you would have to gain more domain experience. And yes for being a Business Analyst in Financial domain, you should directly get in touch with Business Analysts in AMEX. Inter-company transfers are mostly welcomed in all companies for deserving candidates.
Your skills in excel and interest in data crunching would help in all cases of Business Analysis roles.
Wish you good luck,
Aaloka
