Hotels and retailers around the world understandably prefer to take cheques only from persons they know and can trust. At the same time travelers do not want to carry cash on journeys. To meet the needs of both the traveler and the merchant, traveller’s cheques have been devised. A traveller’s cheque is a cheque drawn by a reliable financial institution, such as Bank of America or American Express Company, on itself or its agent. At the time traveller’s cheques are purchased, each is signed by the buyer. When cashing the traveller writes in the name of the payee and again signs her or his name as originally is written on the cheque. This is done in the presence of the payee who can compare the signatures. Although traveller’s cheques are still used, the greatly expanded use of credit cards throughout the world has reduced the need for them.
