A check with two parallel lines drawn on its face. Also called a crossed check. This system was established to prevent losses due to theft or loss of checks, which are often payable at sight and payable to bearer. In other words, with a crossed check, the holder cannot receive payment unless it goes through the holder's own bank or another bank. In the event of theft or loss, the issuer or the legitimate holder can prevent the fraudulent holder from cashing it by reporting the theft or loss to the bank.

小切手の表面に2本の平行線が引かれた小切手。線引小切手ともいう。小切手は一覧払い,かつ持参人払い式が多いために,その盗難,紛失による損害を防止する目的で認められた制度である。すなわち,横線小切手にあっては自己の取引銀行またはその他の銀行を経由しないかぎり所持人はその支払いを受けられないから,盗難,紛失の際,振出人または正当な所持人は銀行に届け出ることによって,不正所持人の換金を防止できる。
