American Express Travelers Cheques

Definition of TRAVELLERS' CHEQUES-

The system of Travellers Cheques was originated in 1801 by the American Express Company with the object of croating a form of travel currency which would give the holder the socurity of a letter credit and at the same time the conventence of local currency. The Company registered the cheques under the trade name of 'AMERICAN EXPRESS TRAVELERS' CHEQUES' tho world "Travellers' boing spelled with one "L" The advantage of the Choqites was so apparent that other banking institutions adopted the system."
