Travellers Cheques

It’s very easy to use Travellers Cheques. All you have to do is:

• sign the cheques immediately on the top left-hand line when you receive them. They are not protected against loss or theft until you do so
• keep a note of the serial numbers located on the top right-hand corner of the Cheques, and keep this record separate from the Travellers Cheques - this is required to identify the Cheques should you need to report them lost or stolen
• when you are ready to use them, just sign your name in the bottom left hand corner in front of the person accepting the cheque

Available in numerous currencies and denominations, and can be exchanged at banks, hotels, foreign exchange bureaus and American Express Travel Services locations; also accepted at a wide variety of shops and restaurants.
