Travellers' Cheques

A Traveller’s Cheque is a form of negotiable payment which entitles you to payment of the cheque's face value upon presentation at a bank, retailer or bureau de change. The face value of a traveller’s cheque is the amount specified in a particular currency. To cash your cheque you will need to provide personal ID i.e. in the format of a driver’s license or passport.

You can purchase traveller’s cheques in a range of currencies including but not limited to:

  • Euro
  • Great British Pound
  • US Dollar
  • Hong Kong Dollar
  • NZ Dollar
  • Singapore Dollar

Note: Before acquiring this product, you should refer to the American Express Traveller’s Cheques Purchase Agreement Form.

Features & Benefits

Encashment
Accepted at thousands of locations worldwide, including banks and bureaux de change. In some countries in particular in the US they can be used to pay directly for goods and services.

Safe & Secure
Traveller’s Cheques are more secure than cash and are a convenient way to carry money overseas. They are easy to carry, are refundable and are excellent for budgeting purposes. They are the perfect complement to local currency and Cash Passport cards.

And remember, if you have any unused Traveller’s Cheques, you can keep them for your next trip - they have no expiration date.
