Crossing a cheque means putting two parallel lines on the left hand top corner of the cheque. This means that, the cheque is a Account Payee cheque which means it can only be deposited into another account and cannot be exchanged for cash over the counter. This serves two purposes - you can keep a track of who encashed your cheque and also ensure that even if the cheque is lost, it cannot be misused by anyone. The person to whom the cheque was paid will be recorded.

How do you open a crossed cheque?

A crossed cheque can be 'opened' and cashed over the counter when the authorised signatories (right mandate) signs against the crossing. Signing against the crossing could be one of three things: 1. signing on top of the crossing, 2. signing in the crossing, 3. signing beneath the crossing. Note that the combination of mandate that originally signed the cheque must sign to 'open' it.
