Kiev Travelers Checks

Orig:photos/traveler_checks.jpg

Travelers checks are not easily accepted in Ukraine. It's recommended not to bring them (or bring only as a backup), since a high commission rate and much paperwork is required to cash the checks. If you still want to take some traveler's checks on your trip, take Thomas Cook or Visa, which are the most common in Ukraine.

To cash traveler's checks you will need your passport and a receipt of purchase. In Kiev you can cash checks at any of the VABank branches shown below:
