Words added to the crossing on a check to ensure that check is paid only into the account of the entity to whom the check is made out. This step makes a check a non-negotiable instrument, and provides protection against its fraudulent conversion. The words 'not negotiable' have the same effect.

Difference between crossed check and account payee check?

Actually they both refer to the same. A crossed cheque is also called an account payee cheque. These types of cheques can only be deposited into an individuals bank account and will not be cashed over the counter. This is used to minimize misuse of cheque instruments in case of loss or theft. We can always track the destination account into which funds were deposited using our crossed cheque whereas in case of bearer cheques (the ones that aren't crossed and can be cashed over the counter) we cannot.

Where to cash a personal check?

There are two ways. # If it is a normal cheque that has not been crossed (not an A/C payee cheque) you can take the cheque to the cheque issuing branch, provide an identity proof and ask for cash # If it is a crossed cheque (A/C payee cheque) you can take it your bank branch and deposit it into your account. Irrespective of whether the cheque is crossed or not, you can use option no. 2. But only if the cheque is plain you can use option no. 1
