What is available?
Foreign Currency
Over 70 currencies are available to members for collection in our Service Centres three days after you place your order. It is always important when you venture abroad to have some local currency. Taxis, porters, even a cup of coffee usually require cash, so now with the help of Police & Nurses Credit Society you can be prepared. Buying before you leave will save you from paying the often higher rates charged at airport exchange bureaus.
Travellers Cheques
American Express travellers cheques are the world's most respected, accepted and easily replaceable brand if lost or stolen. Seven different currencies are available, being accepted at over a million locations globally and offer a worldwide refund service.
