Old Natwest Travellers Cheque

Posts: 32 Forumite
Hi forumites, well I found an old Natwest travellers cheque which I was keeping for emergency when travelling abroad many years ago. Of course these don't have an expiry date, right? Well I am finding it extremely difficult to cash in now with Natwest (the issung bank that I no longer hold an account with), either of my current banks, the local post office or currency exchange kiosk. So are there any fresh options to consider?
Thanks
RFS

Can you get a store to accept it in payment of something? Or open an account with NW simply to deposit the cheque??I’m a Forum Ambassador and I support the Forum Team on Debt Free Wannabe, Old Style Money Saving and Pensions boards.
