Amex Travellers Cheques now not accepted in any Ethiopian Bank (Commercial Bank of Ethiopia, Dashen Bank, also tried others in Addis). Evidently in about June 2013, a number of counterfeit Amex Travellers tendered by travellers to major Ethiopian Banks. The counterfeit cheques were not honoured by Amex. We were told that “the problem has never been resolved”. Aside from this hitch all was good and our local guides and friends went the extra mile to help out.
