Question

In general crossing, a cheque bears across its face an addition of -.

• A. Two cross lines
• B. Two parallel transverse lines
• C. Three parallel transverse lines
• D. Four parallel transverse lines

Answer 1

The correct option is B Two parallel transverse lines

A crossed check is any check that is crossed with two parallel lines, either across the whole check or through the top left-hand corner of the check. This symbol means that the check can only be deposited directly into a bank account which may be specified and cannot be immediately cashed by a bank or any other credit institution. A generally crossed cheque is a cheque that only bears two parallel transverse lines, optionally with the words 'and company' or '& Co.' (or any abbreviation of them) on the face of the cheque, between the lines, usually at the top left corner of the cheque
