Does Monaco accept American Express (Amex)?

04 Apr 2023

Yes, an American Express card is accepted in Monaco. If you usually use an Amex or a Discover card, you may struggle to find an ATM, so bring an alternate card or some euros to cover your stay. Because it costs merchants more in fees than Visa and Mastercard, American Express isn't accepted everywhere.

That depends on what you want on a credit card. American Express in Monaca has several cards, including cash back, rewards, and balance transfer cards.

An American Express card in Monaco is similar to any other major credit card network. However, some benefits are exclusive to American Express, and the network has slightly less international acceptance than other networks. Before deciding on a credit card, consider those from different networks.

How to activate your Amex card in Monaco?

You will usually receive your American Express charge or credit card within a few days of approval. Premium cards with a higher annual fee may be shipped overnight, whereas generic cards with a lower or no annual fee may take a few days to produce before being shipped via regular mail. Your card should arrive within a week, regardless of your option.

To spend money on the card, you must first notify American Express that you have received it. It is "activating" the card, and there are several options:

• You can use the Amex app for free on Google Play and the App Store. Enter your card details and login ID after downloading to verify your card.
• You can go to the American Express website. If you already have an account, you will be prompted to log in; otherwise, you can create a new account.
• You can get in touch with American Express customer service. You'll notice a customer service number on the back of your card that you can call for assistance, and this same number can activate your card. It is an automated process, and you will not have to wait for a live person.
