American Express Travelers Cheques

Definition of Travellers' CHEQUES-

The system of Travellers' Cheques was originated in 1991 by the American Express Company with the object of creating a form of travel currency which would give the holder the aouurity of a letter of credit and at the same tima the convenience of local curranty. The Company registered the chequer under the trade name of AMERICAN EXPRESS TRAVELERS' - CHEQUES' the word "Travellers' being spolled with ono I. The advant

age of the Cheques was so appusent that other banking institutions adopted" this system."***
