American Express Travelers Cheques

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 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 tho Choquos was so apparent that other banking institutions adopted the system."
