Travellers Cheques

Safer than cash

Unlike cash, travellers cheques can be replaced if they’re lost or stolen – almost anywhere in the world and usually within 24 hours.

Simple to use – and very secure

You sign your travellers cheques twice. First when you buy them, and again when you use them. It’s that simple. To protect yourself against loss or theft, write down the serial numbers of your travellers cheques and keep these numbers somewhere safe.

Accepted around the world

Travellers cheques are available in Euro, Sterling, US Dollar, Canadian Dollar, Australian Dollar and Japanese Yen. You can cash them at banks and foreign exchange bureaux – or use them to pay for goods and services in shops, restaurants and hotels. You can also exchange your travellers cheques for local currency, free of charge, at thousands of locations around the world.

No expiry date

Your travellers cheques won’t expire. So you can keep the ones you don’t use and take them on your next trip

Commission

Banks and bureaux de change may charge a small commission when you cash your travellers cheques. The amount is set by the bank or bureau, and varies from country to country. We offer 0% commission on foreign travellers cheques and only charge 1% on sterling travellers cheques
