Travel money

When paying for your travellers' cheques or foreign currency, payment transfers are not available from fixed rate or fixed term accounts. Withdrawals from certain savings accounts may be subject to restrictions and loss of interest.

Different collection times will apply for orders placed on Fridays, Saturdays and Sundays immediately before a Bank Holiday. Different timescales may apply in Scotland and Northern Ireland.

Full details of the lost or stolen arrangements are provided with all orders.
Travelex may monitor and record telephone calls to help provide a high level of service.

Home delivery orders will be sent via Royal Mail Special Delivery, requiring a signature from the delivery address.  If an order is not received on time or an incorrect order is received please contact your branch. Where there is no-one to accept and sign for the delivery the order will be held at a local Royal Mail depot for three weeks.

The home delivery option is only available after you give consent to allow your name and address details to be passed to third parties to be used only for that purpose. All travellers' cheques must be signed in the top left hand corner immediately upon receipt to comply with the American Express purchase agreement included with your travellers cheques.

For orders placed with Travelex and being delivered to the customer's home address, the maximum order limit is £2,500 in any 90-day period. For orders placed in branch for home delivery, the maximum order limit is £7,500.

Bank of Scotland reserves the right  to withdraw the comission-free offer at anytime.

We aim to please but we know sometimes things go wrong. If you have a problem or complaint we want to know. In most cases this can be dealt with at your branch or by calling 0870 850 0856. If your complaint is not resolved to your satisfaction, then ring our Customer Complaints Helpline on 08457 25 35 19. A copy of our complaints procedure is available on request. Complaints we cannot settle may be referred to the Financial Ombudsman Service.

This is an English language site and all our contracts are in English which is the language in which we will communicate with you. Scottish law applies to our relationship with you.
