American Express Travelers Cheques
Definition of TRAVELLERS' CHEQUES-
The system of Travellers' Cheques was originated in 1891 by the American Express Company with the object of creating form of travel currency which would give the holder the security of a letter of credit and atįthe same -time the convenience of local currency. The Company regalared the trade name of AMERICAN EXPRESS cheques under the TRAVELERS CHEQUES the word "Travellers' being spelled with ane "I". The advantage of the Chegues was so apparent that other banking institutions adopted the system."
Quoted from Pitman's Dictionary of Banking by Wm. Thomson.
