American Express Travelers Chèques

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 of travol 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 trade name of of AMERICAN EXPRESS TRAVELERS' CHEQUES' the word Travellers' being spelled with one '1'. This advantage of the Cheques was so apparent that other banking institution adopted the system."
