Letter to Manager to Activate Bank Account

A letter to the manager to activate the bank account is a letter written by an account holder and addressed to the bank administration. In this letter, the account holder makes a request to the bank to activate his account, which has become dormant.

Sometimes, an account holder does not make any transactions in or out of his account for different reasons at a specific time, which results in the bank making the account dormant. It means that the bank blocks account transactions temporarily. An account usually remains inoperative or dormant until the account holder closes the account or requests the reactivation of the account.

The main reason behind the bank making the account dormant or non-functional is the protection of the account holder’s money lying with the bank. If the account holder is not using the account for a certain period, it means that he may not need the account right now. To prevent another individual from misusing his account or doing fraudulent activities, the bank makes the account dormant unless the account holder contacts the bank again.

When the account holder wants to continue using his account, he will make a request to the bank to activate his account. One of the formal ways of doing so is by writing a letter to the bank, in which the account holder can make the desired request for account activation.

The letter needs to mention the required details of the account holder. The general details included in a letter to the manager to activate the bank account are:

  • Date.
  • Details of the account holder.
  • Details of the bank
  • Issue of the dormant account.
  • The reason behind the no transaction
  • Request for the activation of the account.
  • Request for swift processing.
  • Mention the attached documents.
  • State availability for contact.
  • Salutations and signatures

This letter, along with the other documents, signifies that the account holder has made the request himself and that he is the one using his account and not any other individual. The bank then processes the request and reactivates his account.

Sample Letters

#1

I hope this letter finds you well. I am writing this letter to draw your attention to a matter of grave importance. My account with account number [X] at the ________ branch has been opened recently under the title of ______.

I submitted all the related documents when I came to open the account at the bank, but the account has not been activated yet. I was advised that it would take time for activation, but it will be activated without any further involvement from me. I have been waiting for two weeks, but it has not been activated yet.

I am unable to visit the branch again because of some issues; therefore, I would like to request that you kindly look into this matter and let me know of any inconvenience. I will be waiting to hear from you.

#2

I am writing this letter after waiting for a long time, but my wait did not prove to be fruitful. I opened an account at the XYZ branch of _______ bank under the title of [X]. I have been waiting for account activation, but it has not been activated yet.

I have recently joined ABC Company for employment and will receive my salary in the given account, but since the account is not activated, I have not received my salary yet. I am unable to understand the reason behind this delay because I submitted all the required documents, and other formalities were also taken care of by bank officials. Kindly look into this matter and provide me with a solution. I have to pay my bills by the 10th of this month; therefore, my account should be activated before that.

If documents are required, I can submit them, but kindly provide me with an explanation for the delay. I hope you will take this matter as a priority and resolve it for me. Thank you so much for your time.

#3

I am writing this letter to formally request you to activate my bank account [X] under the title _______. It has been two weeks since the account was opened, but it has not been activated ever since.

I am a student at XYZ University, and it is compulsory for every student to have an account at _______ Bank since its branch is located within our university campus. I completed all the formal requirements for opening an account and was advised by the bank officials to wait as it would take time to activate, but I cannot access it even after two weeks.

All the financial transactions between university administration and students take place through this account; therefore, it is very important to activate it immediately. I hope you will look into this matter and provide me with a reasonable answer for this delay.

If the activation requires any other document, kindly inform me timely because I will be gone for summer vacation. Kindly take some time and resolve my problem. I would be highly grateful to you.

#4

I hope you are enjoying good health. I am formally requesting that you kindly activate my bank account [X] under the title of XYZ. It has been dormant for a few months now; therefore, I request its activation immediately.

I opened this account five years ago and have been using it since, but it was not in use for a few months, so it was named dormant. I was notified by the bank officials that I needed to verify it biometrically to keep it active, but I was not able to physically go to the bank; therefore, it went dormant.

Recently, I went for biometric verification and was advised to wait for a few days because it would be activated shortly. I waited a lot, but it has not been activated since. I am unable to understand the underlying reason behind this delay.

Kindly provide me with a reasonable solution for this delay. If I need to submit any personal documents to speed up this process, I will be happy to comply, but please look into this matter and make sure that it is resolved immediately. I have to access my funds, and any further delay would be a hassle.

#5

I am writing this letter to request the activation of my dormant account at ABC Limited, XYZ Branch.

I, David Smith, have a current account in your bank with the account number [X]. As I was out of the country for one year due to my official training, there were no transactions in my account, which resulted in its deactivation. Now that I am back, I need to use my account for salary and other purposes. I will be grateful to you if you speed up the processing and activate my account ASAP, as many of my transactions are pending because of the dormant state of my account.

I am attaching the required documents with this letter. If you need any other documents or information, kindly contact me at [X]. Thank you.

Regards,

David Smith.
