French term

chèque non endossable sauf au profit d'une banque

French to English Law/Patents Finance (general) checking law
Is there a more condensed way of expressing this? The context is check fraud and applicable law, and the case is a check that was passed off at a bank by a third party who technically shouldn't have been able to endorse it.

The phrase appears just as above throughout the document.

Country is Belgium.

In that case you have no choice but give the whole expression.

Hmmm. The only problem is that 'ch�que barr�' is also mentioned frequently in the same text, so I feel the author intends to express it both ways.

Selected

Crossed check

A form of check which has two parallel or transverse lines across the face so that the bank on which it is drawn may not pay to any other party than to a bank.

Donc par definition, le chèque barré est non endossable, sauf au profit d'une banque.

That's the only other option I can think of.

"A/C payee only" cheque

In England, this is what appear on cheques which are non-endorsable (i.e. can only be paid into a bank account in the name of the payee shown on the cheque), in the same way as "chèque non endossable sauf au profit d'une banque" appears on cheques in France.

It is exactly the same thing as a "chèque barré", though and is the standard format used throughout Europe now. In fact you have to make a request to your bank for uncrossed cheques and there is quite a hefty charge payable for each uncrossed cheque issued at most banks!
