Do I have to be a Commonwealth Bank customer to buy or sell traveller’s cheques?
A. No, almost anyone can buy or sell traveller’s cheques. All you need to do is satisfy the customer identification check required for opening a bank account. Q. Where do I sign my traveller’s cheques? A. Traveller’s cheques must be signed in the upper left-hand corner upon purchase. All traveller’s cheques should be signed as soon as possible after purchase. To cash a traveller’s cheque, date it in the upper right-hand corner and then countersign the cheque in the lower left-hand corner. Make sure the cashier watches as you sign so your signature can be verified. Q. Do traveller’s cheques ever expire? A. No. American Express traveller’s cheques do not expire. Unused traveller’s cheques can be used for future trips.
