You must write an application letter in order to change the signature in your Canara Bank account. This letter is a request that you submit to the bank.
This letter you write should be addressed to the branch manager of your home branch. And in case you go to a non-home branch.
Then write the letter to the manager of that branch. The subject line of the letter you write should be “Request for change of signature in the bank account”.
After the subject line explains the matter and mentions your bank account number and the name of the identity proof document you are using.
In the letter, you must first do your old signature. And then do the new signature that you want to update in the bank account.
Now visit the Canara Bank branch and submit the application letter. Bank officials will ask you to show your original copy of the identity proof document.
You must show your document for verification. Once your identity is verified, the bank will take your request to update your signature in the account.
Officials may also ask you to complete and sign an application form. (if the bank has designed one for this) You must cooperate with the officials and do whatever is necessary.
