American Express Travelers Cheques
Definition of TRAVELLERS' CHEQUES
11.84
213
The system of Travellers Cherwes was originated in 1881 by the American Exprom Company with the object of creating a form of travel currency which would give the holder the security of letter of credit and at the same time the convenience of local currency. The Company registered the cheques under the trade name of AMERICAN EXPRESS TRAVELERS' CHEQUES the word "Travellers' being spelled with one "1" The datage of the Cheques was so apparent that other banking institutions adopted the system." ·
