American Express Travelers Cheques

Dofinition of TRAVELLERS' CHEQUES-

"The system of Travellers Cheques was originated in 1891 by the American Express Company with the object of croating a form of 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 choques under the trade name of 'AMERICAN EXPRESS TRAVELERS' CHEQUES' the World Travellers' being spelled with one "L" The advantage of the Cheques was so apparent that other banking Institutions adopted the system."
