Reference Letter from Employer to Open a Bank Account

When you are applying for opening a new bank account, your banker may insist on one or more "introductory reference" either from an existing account holder of that bank or from a reputed person, or a letter of reference from your employer.

If you are on good terms with your employer, it will be easier for you to get such a reference letter. Hence, you may request your employer to provide a letter/certificate for this purpose.

Please remember to make sure that your personal details are mentioned accurately in the letter. Personal details viz. name, address, date of birth, etc.

Here is an example of a reference letter from an employer to open the bank account of an employee.
