Application Letter for Change of Signature in Bank Account

In order to change your signature in the records of the bank where you are maintaining an account, you will have to visit the bank's branch and submit your application. Few banks may accept such requests through letters sent to them by post.

While some banks accept a simple letter from you having the request for change of signature along with new and old signatures of yours, some other banks may not accept that letter and will insist on submitting the application form prescribed by them after duly filled in and signed.

Methods: How to change signature in bank account?

1) Mailing to the bank by post/courier an application by letter with bank account details along with old and new signature of account holder on the letter.

2) Visiting the bank's branch and submitting the application.

 (a) Either by your own written letter with both old and new signatures;

 (b) Or by filling up the application form given by the bank with all details and signatures.

Please call and check with the customer care executive of the bank before visiting the branch. They will tell you the exact procedure adopted by that bank.

Following is the format of such a formal request letter if the bank is fine with your letter submission.
