If you have changed the place where you live. Then you have an option to update your new address in your bank account. This is highly recommended to be done once you have the new address proof document with you. In this guide, I will tell you how you can change address in PNB Account.
I did not find any resource online that states you can change the address online using internet banking or mobile banking. So I have explained an offline method. This method requires the account holder to submit a written request to the bank.
But before I tell you the steps you need to follow. I would like to tell you about the basic requirement to change the address in the bank account. Here we first need to understand that the address is a very important part of the KYC detail of any account.
So the banks do not change it on the basis of just an application submitted by the account holder. Along with the application. The account holder also has to submit the proper address proof document that certifies the new address. Without a proper proof document, the bank will not process the request.
Steps to Change Address in PNB Account
For address proof documents you can use your Aadhaar Card, Voter ID, Ration Card, Passport, etc. But make sure that the document you are using has your new address on it. PAN Card can not be used as an address proof document.
- Take a sheet of paper.
- Start writing an application letter.
- The application letter should address the branch manager of your PNB’s home branch.
- The subject of the letter should be “Address Change Request”.
- In the body of the letter explain that you have changed your address. And want to update the same in the account.
- Further, you have to clearly mention your name, account number, old address, and your new address.
- Take a clear photocopy of the address proof document you are using.
- Make your signature on the document and attach it with your application letter.
- Visit your PNB home branch and submit the application letter to the bank officials.
Conclusion
While going to the home branch make sure you carry the original copy of your document with you. And this change is subject to successful verification of your document by the bank. You need not pay any charges to the bank for this change. For more details, you can call customer care on 1800 180 2222. (toll-free) And speak with the support executive of the bank.
