Service Detail: Sale of Travellers Cheques
Bank of St. Helena can now sell Travellers Cheques.
Travellers Cheques are a secure way to carry funds when travelling outside St. Helena. Not only are they much less useful to a thief than cash, but if they are lost or stolen, the holder can claim a refund from the issuer.
Bank of St. Helena has American Express Travellers Cheques® on sale in GBP50 denominations. These can be purchased at the bank either for cash or by debit to your account.
Travellers Cheques can be encashed in most countries at banks, larger hotels and in many shops. They are useable onboard the RMS St. Helena.
Bank of St. Helena charges 1% of the face value for the issue of Travellers Cheques. You may be required to pay further costs at the point of encashment - please ask there for details.
