American Express is once again available in San Marino. Starting today, cards from the network, including Consumer, Business and Corporate versions, can be used at San Marino businesses that are part of the Klirway network.
The news was reported by San Marino RTV, which gathered statements from Federico Zambelli Hosmer, managing director of Klirway S.p.A. The return of the network aims to fill a gap in the Titano’s payment system and, above all, to expand opportunities for merchants and operators to reach international customers.
American Express can indeed rely on a customer base of more than 170 million people worldwide, including travelers and users with significant spending power — a particularly relevant factor for a destination with a strong tourism vocation like San Marino.
“This is a path we undertook to close this significant gap,” Zambelli Hosmer explained to San Marino RTV, emphasizing that the result was achieved through the restoration of relations with American Express, the work of the Klirway team and dialogue with local regulators.
For merchants participating in the network, this opens up the possibility of accepting American Express payments once again, broadening the pool of potential customers and offering an additional service to foreign visitors as well.
