9 mins confidence: 
joint signature? Explanation: (if it refers to a banking account). I am not sure. You might want to wait for more answers, specially from Marian Greenfield. The literal translation would be crossed signature, and this would only be the case if the person does not know how to sign and signs a cross, but this is utterly impossible in this context. Your proposal of countersigned seems to make sense. |

crosss-sign Explanation: Lack of context drives me to wide guessing here. I dont know the expression, but it MAY mean that one brother's expense account must be approved by the other brother. Please, bear in mind that this is mere brain storming, in the hope it can help Marian or Márcio Badra find the right answer. |

1 hr confidence:
endorsed for deposit only Explanation: It was very common when I lived in Brazil that checks intended for deposit only, so not to be cashed at the teller's window, would have two parallel diagonal lines slashed across the center of the face of the check by the person who made out the check. This was called a "cheque cruzada." Sometimes one was asked to make payment "em cheque cruzada" - I suppose to keep the office boys or other who handled the time-consuming task of banking from making off with the cash. I can only suggest this might apply "by extension" to the situation you describe. Hope someone else, like Marcio or Danilo, will respond. |
