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 a form a travel currency which would give the holder the security of a letter of credit and at the same time-the convenience of local currency. The Company registered the cheques under the truds DAMO of 'AMERICAN EXPRESS TRAVELERS' CHEQUES' the world "Travellers' being spelled with one "L". This advantage of the Cheques was so apparent that other banking. Institutions adopted the ayatom.”
