Does anyone know if banks cash travellers checks for free or is there a service charge? They would be AMEX travellers checks in Australian dollars. Thinking this might be the easiest and quickest way of transferring a large some of money.

We tended to find that there was no charge for AMEX but it does depend on the bank (and sometimes even on which clerk you speak to!!!) The other advantage of AMEX cheques, of course, is that there is no charge at AMEX counters.
