Banks Required to Cash Travelers Checks

Answered by: 

Question: 
We used to sell Amex gift cards and travelers checks in the branch. About 3 years ago we discontinued this service. Is it a requirement for banks to accept travelers checks to be negotiated. We are located in NY if that matters.
Answer: 

You are only required to negotiate physical traveler's checks if you have a contract with the traveler's check issuer requiring that you do so.

There is no federal regulation which would require this.
