You can actually request cheque books with either A/C payee only already pre-printed or just uncrossed or bearer with HSBC.
My original HSBC cheque book with PowerVangtage had A/C payee only (which is also the standard in the UK).
However my new cheque books with SCB are in bearer form only, and I would have to add in the cross for A/C payee only.
