When and where must the Travelers Cheque be signed?
To be protected in case of loss or theft, each Travelers Cheque must be signed in the upper left-hand corner immediately after receipt. Once a customer is ready to use the Cheques, he must countersign the Cheques in the lower left-hand corner, in front of the teller or cashier. Travelers Cheques can only be accepted if both signatures reasonably match and the security features are checked. As a safety measure, the accepting location can request an authorization of the presented Travelers Cheques from American Express. When using the Travelers Cheque for Two, both travelers need to sign the Cheques in the lower right-hand corner at the time of purchase, but only one of the travelers needs to countersign when exchanging them.
