American Express Travelers Cheques

amex logoAmerican Express Travelers Cheques are accepted just like cash all over the world. But unlike cash, you never need to worry about them being lost or stolen. Your cheques can't be used without your signature, and they're 100% refundable. Just report any missing travelers cheques to American Express, any time of day or night, any day of the year, and American Express will replace them in as little as 24-hours. How's that for carrying cash with confidence? Simply drop by any branch to pick up your free American Express Traveler’s Cheques. Or for a small fee you can purchase Cheques for Two® which carry dual signatures, so either you or your travel partner can use them.
