A Letter to Add Signatory to Bank Account is a fundamental banking document used when an organization or individual needs to grant signing authority on a bank account to a new person. This document is particularly relevant in the Canadian banking context, where it must align with federal banking regulations and provincial requirements. It is commonly used during leadership transitions, when expanding financial controls, or when delegating banking authorities. The letter must include specific account details, new signatory information, authorization levels, and must be executed by existing authorized signatories. Supporting documentation typically includes identity verification and, for corporate accounts, relevant corporate resolutions.
