American Express credit card with installment facility

Can’t decide between a weekend trip and a new smartphone? You don’t have to. The Gold Card from American Express offers you an installment facility that allows you to expand your financial possibilities, allowing you to decide how you pay your credit card statement.

The installment facility: How does it work?

You are free to apply for the installment facility for the American Express Gold Card. It will be made available to you after a successful credit check. You can then decide each month whether you want to pay the full amount of your credit card statement or a lower amount.

The minimum amount for the installment facility is 2.5% of the statement amount or CHF 50. For amounts over this and up to the full statement amount, you have the flexibility to decide how much you would like to pay.

If you use the installment facility, interest will be charged on the part of the invoice amount that you have not yet paid. The annual percentage interest rate is shown on the application form. If you decide against using the installment facility one month and pay the full amount, it is naturally the case that no interest will be charged.
