When the check is not crossed, it is called bearer check,which can be encashed by anybody at his possession. Where as when the check is crossed, it has to be credited into the payee's account only, thus ensuring safety, because even if it is stolen it cannot be encashed by the recipient.

You can get one of these is someone pays you for something with a check.

In a crossed check, two parallel lines are drawn on the body of the check implying that payment would only be effected to the payee only, and not to any bearer.
