A crossed check or an Account Payee check is one that cannot be exchanged for cash. It has to be deposited into the bank account of the person to whom the check is issued. For ex: if you lose a regular check written out to you by a friend and I find it, I can create a fake ID card and visit the bank as you and get it cashed. However, if it is a crossed check, the only way I can cash it is by depositing the check in my bank account. This way chances of misuse are reduced greatly
