Travel Services
Our travel services include:
- Travellers' Cheques
- Foreign Currency
- International Drafts
- International Telegraphic Transfers
Lost or stolen cash can mean an early end to any vacation or business trip. Unlike cash, lost or stolen Travellers Cheques can be replaced with a single telephone call - usually within 24 hours. They are the safe way to protect yourself against the hassle and inconvenience of losing cash and are widely accepted at banks, hotels and business establishments and shops, both in Australia and around the world.
Let us know your travellers cheques needs and we'll advise you the current exchange rate and the cost in Australian dollars. Payment can be arranged by debiting your Credit Union account, or we can draw the funds from your account with any other Australian financial institution. Most travellers cheques orders will be delivered to your home or work address, at no cost to you, within 24 hours
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.

Foreign Currency
In addition to travellers cheques, it is advisable to carry some local currency to cover taxis, tips and other expenses when you arrive at your destination. We are able to offer you a choice of over 45 currencies.
Cash Passport Card
Cash Passport is a pre-paid, PIN-protected card that enables you to obtain local currency from over 800,000 VISA and PLUS ATM’s around the world – in effect, a plastic travellers cheque.
International Drafts
International drafts are popular with members who wish to send foreign currency to relatives, friends or bank accounts abroad. Both secure and straightforward, these drafts are available in a comprehensive selection of currencies.
International Telegrapic Transfers
When large amounts of funds are involved, or if a transfer of funds is required quickly, a telegraphic transfer is a good way to send foreign currency to another country. Funds can also be transferred to most Travelex offices worldwide for collection in the form of cash or travellers cheques.
