What is a Bank Account Confirmation used for?
A Bank confirmation letter is a letter from a bank, validating that a named person is the account holder of a specified bank account. It ensures that debtors can get money deposited to the correct bank accounts.
We require a Bank Account Confirmation Letter before making any refund or EFT payment to customers. This is done to ensure that we are paying the correct person and to eliminate the possibility of fraud. It also ensures that we have the correct details because customers and/or our staff could make mistakes when not dealing with official bank letters. We understand that this may seem like an extra step, but it is necessary to protect our customers and our business from fraudulent activities.
The advance of technology is based on making it fit in so that you don't really even notice it, so it's part of everyday life.
