Travellers Cheques
Safer than cash
AMERICAN EXPRESS® TRAVELLERS CHEQUES
Every 31 seconds, a traveller abroad is a victim of theft*. Unlike cash, American Express® Travellers Cheques are protected from the moment they are purchased. If lost or stolen, American Express Travellers Cheques can be replaced with a single telephone call - usually within 24 hours. They are the safe way to protect yourself against the hassle and inconvenience of losing cash.
American Express Travellers Cheques are available in many currencies for the most frequently traveled countries in the world:
- US Dollar
- Euro
- British Pound Sterling
- Canadian Dollar
- Australian Dollar
- Japanese Yen
EASY TO USE
Simply sign the Cheques when you purchase them and be sure to keep a note of the serial numbers so that you are protected in the event your Cheques are lost or stolen. When you're ready to use a Cheque, just sign your name in the lower left-hand corner in the presence of the acceptor.
NO EXPIRATION DATE
American Express Travellers Cheques do not expire, so you can save unused Travellers Cheques for your next trip. Just remember to sign your Cheques when you receive them and you're protected.
