American Express credit card in Switzerland + coins for lockers?
Michelle is planning a trip to Switzerland and is curious about the acceptance of American Express credit card and where to get coins for lockers. She wants to know if she will have trouble using her card and how to handle luggage storage during her travels.
- American Express is generally accepted in Switzerland, but Visa and Mastercard are more widely used.
- Larger train stations often allow card payments for lockers, so ensure you check in advance.
- It’s a good idea to have some cash on hand for lockers at smaller stations where coin payment may be required.

Hi Michelle A,
Yes, American Express is widely accepted in Switzerland. You can use American Express at many places, though Visa and Mastercard are more common but you should not have too much of a problem with American Express.
Useful information on the Swiss franc and payment in the link below:
For lockers, card payment is becoming more and more common, especially at the larger rail stations. You’ll probably find that coin payment is only required at the smaller rail stations, so it’s maybe handy to carry a small amount of cash if you think you may use the more remote rail stations for luggage storage. Scroll to “Luggage storage at train stations in Switzerland” for further information. In the “Other websites of interest section”, you can also research your preferred rail station and it will indicate the types of payment that are accepted for lockers.
Kind regards,
Yolanda
