Explanation:
I'm not certain because I'm not really qualified in this field, but endorsement sounds like it could fit your bill.

Cheques are crossed on the front (double crossed) i.e., struck through that makes them non-transferable. the girata is the opposite, i.e., usually by signing the back with your name, you essentially make the payment instrument payable to someone else and, if someone else then signs the back, then the instrument will be made payable to a new payee.

Asker: Thanks for that. It's certainly not my field but in the UK we talk about cheques being crossed. I wonder whether endorsement is the US equivalent.

Asker: That is very useful indeed, thanks!
