Traveller's Cheque

Traveller's cheque is a preprinted, fixed-amount cheque which functions almost like cash but is replaceable if damaged or lost. It is a secure method of using cash while travelling. Traveller's cheque is valid without expiry date and can be bought from issuer, the organisation that produces it; and the agent, the bank or other place that sells it; and used by people on vacation in place of money and can be encashed at locations worldwide.
