Opening a bank account through a letter is simple and best for those who don’t feel comfortable sending their information over the internet. Firstly, you need to run some preparatory steps, like determining the bank you want to open the account at; choosing the type of account; reading the details like fees, deposits, and requirements, if any; gathering your information like date of birth, social security number, contact information etc. Now, that you’re done with the initial work. You can start writing a letter to the bank you want to open account at. Follow the steps in order.
All the personal information must be at the top right hand column of the letter along with the date.
Write down the bank information, i.e., name of the bank, branch address etc. In the left hand column. If you don’t know manager’s name, then you can just write Manager.
Mention your subject line.
Start with a semi formal salutation like, dear.
Write the body by starting with elaboration of subject line.
State the type of account you would like to open and mention the upfront you plan to deposit.
Close in a courteous and friendly manner.
The letter should be sent at the mailing address of the branch you want to open the account at. A sample letter for the purpose is as follows.
