American Express Travelers Cheques

Definition of TRAVELLERS' CHEQUES--

"The system of Travellers Cheques was originated in 1901 by the American Express Company with the object of creating a "form of travel carroncy 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 ‘AMERICÁN · EXPRESS TRAVELERS' CHEQUES' tho world Travellers' being spelled with one "L" The advantage of the Choquce was so apparent that other banking Institutions adopted the system."
