American Express is the first company who invented the travellers cheques. In 1880 the President of “American Express” Mr. Fargo on his trip to Europe has been enraged with constant inconvenience by difficulties in usage of credit letters to get cash during the whole journey. On return he imposed on the delivery department to invent an alternative to credit letters. The travellers cheques were proposed as a solution. They became the first product of the “American Express”. And until now American Express travellers' cheques are very popular in the whole world, thus allowing millions of travellers to be sure in safety of their money and trust American Express Company.

Payments facilitation
If you plan to take with you more than $3000 permitted by the law of the Republic of Belarus without obligatory declaration while going abroad for business or vacation, you should first think over the easiest and safest ways to secure your money. The most convenient way to do so is to purchase American Express Traveller’s cheques.

• An ordinary Traveller can bring Traveller Cheques in foreign currencies over the Belarusian border without any restrictions according to the Belarusian customs regulations. (Please mind Customs regulations of other countries, which may differ).
• Wherever you are you can easily change your cheques into cash in a bank or AMERICAN EXPRESS representative offices at more attractive exchange rate than cash.
• You may use the cheques to pay for services and products in shops, hotels and restaurants in the USA and more likely in Europe.
• The cheques have no expiration date. If you did not use your cheques you may use them the next time.

Your signature on the cheque is the warranty that you are the only person to use them. If you lost your cheques or they are stolen you can refund them in a AMERICAN EXPRESS representative office or partner bank in any country (as a rule within 24 hours).

• Getting your cheques, sign every cheque in the top left corner.
• Cashing a cheque sign it in the right bottom corner.
• Paying by cheque for services and products sign the cheque only in the presence of the cashier.
• You are not allowed to lend, lease, mortgage, gamble or otherwise stand down your rights in relation to cheques to any other person or company in other case than payment.
• Don’t forget to take from bank the purchase receipt and keep it separately from your cheques.
