Request Letter to Bank for Correction of Name Spelling Error

Sometimes, while entering your name in the records of the bank during opening of your bank account, the bank official might unintentionally enter the name with some spelling mistakes in it.

When you notice the error, you should contact your bank immediately, and have it corrected as soon as possible to avoid any delay in functioning your account in any future transactions.

You can visit the branch office of the bank and ask for the procedure to do the correction. They may ask you for an application letter in this regard.

Here is a sample of such an application letter to the bank manager for correction of error in the name.
