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

The core offerings of the company primarily consist of credit cards. In addition, the company also provides banking and investment services and offers insurance benefits. 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 for shopping, neither in stores nor online or via apps.

As a Comerciante, 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 Comerciante.

The minimum age for an Amex card is 18 years. For other credit cards, a residence in the country is often required. 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) operates in Switzerland similarly to other countries, offering a wide range of credit card and payment solutions for individuals and businesses. The use of Amex typically begins with a card application, where potential cardholders provide the required information and undergo a credit check.

Upon approval and authorisation of the card, American Express issues the physical or virtual card. Cardholders can then use their Amex card at Comerciante and online shops that accept Amex as a payment method. This allows them to make purchases, access services, and handle 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.
