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 large supermarkets, gas stations, furniture Merchants, fashion stores, and of course, also in online commerce.

The company's core offerings mainly 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 charges no fees when you use this payment option as a shopper, neither in stores nor online or through apps.

As a Comerciante, however, you pay a transaction fee if you offer American Express in your online shop, depending on the payment provider. At Payrexx, this 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) functions in Switzerland similarly to other countries and offers 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.

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

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