Travellers Cheques

Country First Credit Union, in conjunction with Travelex, can help you organise travellers cheques for your next overseas journey.

A traditional and very secure way of carrying funds, travellers cheques are issued by internationally-recognised institutions (either Visa or MasterCard), and are therefore accepted world wide.

Even better, they are a more secure way of transporting funds than carrying actual foreign currency - so contact one of our service centres to discuss this option with a customer service representative.

Travellers cheques are available in a range of currencies, including United States dollars and English pounds. The currency you select will vary according to your travel destination. The following guide should help, however Travellers Cheques are available in other currencies so please check with our member services staff.
