Changing the signature in the bank records often takes a lot of your time and effort. There are a few steps to be taken in order to process the request to change the signature. The very first step is to write an application for a signature change. A few banks might ask you to write an email instead of a letter. This article will provide you with the format and sample for both. Take a look.
We have written applications to banks for various reasons like application for a cheque book, or to issue the bank statement. Like these letters, an application for changing signature in the bank is also a type of formal letter written to the Branch Manager.
The format shall remain almost similar to that of other formal letter types. The notable differences would be in the subject and body of the letter. You will have to mention valid reasons for which you are requesting a signature change. Check the samples given in the next section to understand how exactly it is done.
Here are a few sample applications for your reference.
