American Express+ Travellers Cheques

 

American Express+ Travellers Cheques

When you are travelling, consider carrying funds in the form of American Express Travellers Cheques. American Express is the #1 issuer of travellers cheques all over the globe, and here are just a few reasons why:

  1. Easy To Manage, And Safer Than Cash
    Unlike cash, which is gone for good, American Express guarantees that if its Travellers Cheques are lost, stolen or destroyed, they will be refunded 365 days a year, usually within 24 hours, virtually anywhere in the world.
  2. More Convenient Than ATMs Outside Canada and the U.S.A
    American Express Travellers Cheques are available in a wide variety of currencies and denominations
  3. Cheques For Two
    American Express Travellers Cheques offers Cheques for Two in U.S. dollars. This means you and your partner can share one set of cheques, but either one of you can sign them--great for when you're out shopping and your partner's on the beach soaking up the sun! OR, should an emergency occur, either of you is able to sign and cash the same set of travellers cheques.

Universal Acceptance; Use With Confidence

"Watch & Compare" encashment guarantee (no identification required). You sign your travellers cheques when they are purchased and countersign when cashing them. If the signatures match, payment is guaranteed.

Traveller's Tips

Hotels will usually cash travellers cheques for their guests free of charge, but to avoid paying fees at other establishments, use your cheques to purchase goods and services whenever you can.

Record the serial numbers of your cheques as you use them, and keep this list separate from the numbers of your unused cheques. This makes replacement easier if they are lost or stolen.
