How to Use your Travelers Cheques

When you receive your travelers cheques

• You must sign each Travelers 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 Travelers Cheques.

Always

• When you first purchase your Travelers Cheques, it is very important that you record the serial numbers of each Cheque. If you need to report lost or stolen Travelers 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 Travelers Cheques.

Cashing your Travelers Cheques

• It is important that you make a note of the serial numbers of the Travelers 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.
