Great question!
No, there is not a specific Chinese character that looks similar to 百. The idea here, is to use more complicated characters on cheques so as to reduce the chance of deliberate alteration, e.g. faking the numbers on cheques.

The context in which 佰 (bǎi) is generally used is in financial transactions, specifically when writing cheques. In Chinese, the character 佰 is used to represent the number 100, and is often written on cheques to avoid mistakes or alterations. This is because the character 佰 is more complex and difficult to alter compared to the simpler character 百 (bǎi), which also means "hundred".
