Traveller's Cheque Purchase

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.

ACLEDA Bank Lao accepts all kinds of traveler's cheques in US Dollar, Euro, Australian Dollar, Canadian Dollar, and other foreign currencies.
