Although the acceptance of Visa and Mastercard credit cards is still broader than that of Amex credit cards, cardholders in Switzerland now have the opportunity to use their American Express credit card at major supermarkets, gas stations, furniture stores, fashion shops, and of course, also in online commerce.

The company's core offerings primarily consist of credit cards. In addition, the company also provides banking and investment services and offers insurance services. The credit card issued by American Express is known worldwide as the "Amex Card."

American Express does not charge any fees when you use this payment option as a shopper, whether in stores, online, or through apps.

As a merchant, however, you pay a transaction fee if you offer American Express in your online shop, depending on the payment provider. With Payrexx, this fee ranges between 3% and 5%, depending on the transaction volume of the merchant.

The minimum age for an Amex card is 18 years. For other credit cards, you often also need a residence in the country. However, with American Express, you can often apply for a credit card even if you live abroad, as long as you have a bank account in Switzerland.

American Express (Amex) works in Switzerland similarly to other countries and offers a wide range of credit card and payment solutions for individuals and businesses. Using Amex typically starts with a card application, where potential cardholders provide the required information and undergo a credit check.

After approval and authorization of the card, American Express issues the physical or virtual card. Cardholders can then use their Amex card at merchants and online shops that accept Amex as a payment method. This allows them to make purchases, use services, and process payments conveniently.

With American Express, you pay securely, contactlessly, and mobile worldwide. You benefit from fraud protection, 3-D Secure, and depending on the card, cashback or additional services.
