American Express Travelers Chèques

Definition of TRAVELLERS' CHEQUES-

The system of Travellers Cheques was originated in 1801 by the American Express Company with the abject 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 spalind with ans. The advant age of the Choques was so apparent that other banking institutions adopted the system.""
