The American Express Explorer® Credit Card is accepted worldwide anywhere that accepts American Express cards. So you can use your card to make purchases or withdraw cash at ATMs outside of Australia, as long as the merchant or ATM accepts American Express. However, it is important to note that American Express is not as widely accepted as Visa or Mastercard, especially in some countries. Therefore, it is always a good idea to have a backup payment method when traveling internationally.

Yes, The American Express Explorer® Credit Card typically charges foreign transaction fees of 3% on purchases made in a foreign currency or with a foreign merchant. It’s always a good idea to check with American Express directly or refer to your card’s terms and conditions to confirm the fees and any other applicable charges before using your card for international purchases.
