How to use your Travellers Cheques

When you receive your Travellers Cheques

• You must sign each Travellers Cheque once, as soon as you receive it, in the space marked Purchaser's Signature. This must be in your usual signature in non-erasable ink. You should only sign the Cheque again, in the presence of the accepting agent, when you encash it.

• Please read and understand the Purchase Agreement. You can find them inside the wallet provided with your Travellers Cheques.

Always

• When you first purchase your Travellers Cheques, it is very important that you record the serial numbers of each Cheque. If you need to report lost or stolen Travellers Cheques, you will be asked to provide the serial number of the Cheque in question. Keep your list of serial numbers in a safe place and separate from your Travellers Cheques.

Cashing your Travellers Cheques

• It is important that you make a note of the serial numbers of the Travellers Cheques as you encash them. Keep this record separate from your remaining Cheques.

• You should only complete the date on each Cheque when you wish to use it, just as if you were writing a personal cheque.
