Swisscard AECS GmbH operates in financial services in Switzerland as a joint venture between Credit Suisse AG and American Express, founded in 1998. Based in Horgen, in the canton of Zurich, it is the sole Swiss source offering American Express, MasterCard, and Visa from a single issuer, Credit Suisse AG, allowing customers to assemble personalized card portfolios. The company handles product development, sales and marketing, customer service and card processing in Switzerland on behalf of Credit Suisse, and, as a merchant acquirer for American Express, works to expand the AmEx acceptance network within Switzerland; MasterCard and Visa acquisitions in the Swiss market are led by SIX and Aduno. The firm targets Swiss cardholders seeking a broad range of card products and a seamless, unified source for multiple brands, positioning itself through the combination of American Express card management with Credit Suisse's national distribution. A recent development includes Alpian SA partnering with Swisscard AECS in 2026 to offer an American Express Platinum Card-related offer.
