Why we strike two lines at the corner of (bank)check's?

i seen lot of checks has two lines at their corner.why? and What the reson could any one clear my query.

Crossing affects the mode of payment of the cheque. The cheque is no more payable to the payee or holder at the counter of the bank. The payment of a crossed cheque can be obtained only through a banker.
Thus, crossing is a mode of assuring that only the rightful holder gets payment. Even if some wrongful person secures payment it can be traced, because he can receive payment only through an account with a bank.
You should cross your cheque if:
(i) you do not want your cheque to be encashed.
(ii) you want your cheque to be non-transferable. Add the words â€œAccount Payee Only â€ (or â€œA/C Payee Onlyâ€) preferably between the two parallel lines.

It is called crossing of a check. When a check is crossed, the check can only be depostied into the account of person's name mentioned in the check.
Thus, crossing is a mode of assuring that only the rightful holder gets payment. Even if some wrongful person secures payment it can be traced, because he can receive payment only through an account with a bank.

rsriram_1999

it means payee only not endorseable. All checks are negotiable instruments transferable by endorsement. The endorseable feature is canceled for security reasons by drawing two parallel lines

mobilemark

if you are talking about the line where write the amount (usually in the square box
lets say someones gives you a check for $100.00
usually they would be a line before thee $100 in the number box
like $-100)
and on the write line
write -one hundred and no/100-
this is prevent someone from increase the amount of the check
others someone could raise the check to read 1100
and white in one thousand one hundred dollars

Most of the time the lines are there because they are double checking the info on the check and put the lines there to show that they have done it. This is especially important if the check comes up with any discrepancies, they can prove that they double checked it by the lines.

luv_2212

by drawing those 2 lines, the amount can only be transfered to the person whose name is writen over there. it goes directly into his bank accnt so no other can use it.

king

To cross the cheques so that they are not to be payable across the counter.
