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 cheques under the trade name of 'AMERICAN EXPRESS TRAVELERS' CHEQUES' - the world "Travellars being spelled with one "L" The advantage of the Cheques was so apparent that other banking institutions adopted the system."
