American Express Travelers Cheques

Definition of TRAVELLERS' CHEQUES—

The system of Traveller' Cheques was originated in 1891 by the American Express Company with the object of creating a form of travel currency which would give the holder the security of a letter of credit and atthe same time the convenience of local currency, The Company reg.mozed the EXPRESS trade name of AMERICAN cheque ander the TRAVELERS CHEQUES the word 'Travellers being spelled with One "1": The advantage of the Choques was so apparent that other banking institutions adopted the system."
