If you have changed your name legally or if there is a spelling mistake of your name in the bank account. Then you can request the bank to change it or correct it. In this guide, I will tell you how you can change name in Standard Chartered Bank account.
I do not recommend you try changing it online. And probably the bank does not allow you to do it online as well. The reason being the name is one of the most important details of the KYC information. So I have explained an offline method that requires you to visit your home branch of the bank.
The bank will take your request only if you have a proper proof document with you. If you are changing your name after marriage. Then you can provide your marriage certificate as the proof document. And in case if you have changed your name legally. Then you can use your legal name change document.
In most cases, the name will be spelled wrong in the account. If this is the case with you. You simply need to provide an identity proof document that spells your name correctly. In all cases, you need not submit the original copy of the document. You just need to submit a self-attested photocopy.
The Process of Changing Name in Standard Chartered Bank Account
If you have a proper proof document with you then follow the instructions given below.
- Take a sheet of paper.
- Start writing an application letter.
- The letter should address the branch manager of your Standard Chartered Bank’s home branch.
- The subject of the letter should be “Change of Name in Bank Account”.
- Explain in the body of the letter that you have changed your name. And you want to update the same in your account.
- Further mention your bank account number, your old name, and your new or corrected name.
- Get a clear photocopy of the proof document and make your signature on it.
- Attach the photocopy with your application letter.
- Visit your Standard Chartered Bank’s home branch and submit it to the bank officials.
Conclusion
You can also submit a computer typed letter on which you have signed. In case the bank gives you a separate form to fill, then you will have to fill it. While going to the bank make sure you carry the original copy of the document with you. For more information, you can call the customer care of the bank and speak with the bank’s support executive.
