Advancements in technology have played a huge role in changing the ways in which official correspondences take place. Nonetheless, a limited course of communication between organizations and their customers still has to be carried out in conventional ways even when the presence of technology has eased the ways in which they happen.
One such example of official correspondence being carried out in a conventional manner is between banks and their customers. Even after the normalization of email culture, banks constantly like to send their customers’ statements and credit card bills to their home addresses to ensure privacy and security.
This puts pressure on the customers to provide their banks with their detailed, precise, and exact addresses so that their financial details do not mistakenly reach someone else. In many cases, where people change their home address and forget to notify their banks about such a shift, their financial details reach someone they are not meant for and this sometimes ends up with the customer finding himself or herself on the horns of a dilemma.
It is, therefore, always advisable to notify your banks and other finance-related organizations about the change in your address as soon as possible. This can be done by sending them an email but the most suitable way of doing this is by writing them a letter and posting it directly from your new address. This way, your bank manager gets assured of your address’s update and makes necessary changes to your file in an accurate manner.
Given below is a sample of a letter written to a bank for the purpose of getting your address updated. You can edit it to suit your purpose and send it to your bank to save yourselves from possible future troubles.
