Let us help you

Come to us before you go abroad
If you are planning a trip abroad then ordering your travel money is easy. Choose from foreign banknotes or American Express Travellers Cheques and where you want them delivered.

Taking travellers cheques abroad?
Where euro and US dollars are the local currency, taking euro travellers cheques to Europe or US dollar travellers cheques to the US will provide the best experience. This is because euro travellers cheques can often be used in the same way as cash, which means you don’t need to worry about working out exchange rates when on holiday. In the US, US dollar travellers cheques are widely accepted at local shops, hotels and restaurants without having to exchange them first. Plus travellers cheques can be easily replaced in the event that they are lost or stolen.

Where euro travellers cheques are not readily accepted by retailers you can benefit from using the American Express fee free partner network. Fee free partners will exchange euro travellers cheques at face value and without charge+. The American Express fee free partner network is also available for US dollar travellers cheques and is accessible nationwide at banks in the USA.
