Have your info ready

Before a refund can be arranged, the issuer will ask a few simple questions:

  • What are the cheque serial numbers?
  • Where and when did you buy the cheques?
  • How and when do you think the cheques were lost or stolen?
  • Who is the issuer of the traveller’s cheques?

The refund can usually be arranged within 24 hours, subject to certain terms and conditions being satisfied.
