£5 TC 2The term “OVERSEAS BRANCHES” is perhaps a little misleading, as it implies a network of branches abroad.  What it actually refers to is a number of key branches in England that process international payments, stocks and shares and securities, and an office in Paris that gathers statistical information on European and World trade and reports directly to Martins Bank’s Information Department at Head Office in Liverpool.  Although these branches do so much more than simply handling travellers’ cheques, it is worth noting that the payment of these cheques is the first and only part of Martins clearings to be fully automated and handled by computer – Hence the full line of encoding on the cheque shown above.  The work of these offices is complex, varied and integral to maintaining the image of the Bank around the World. For convenience, we have listed these offices on this page, so that you can visit each of our overseas branches, and learn something of what they do…
