Complaint Letter to the Bank about Error in Bank Statement

Sometimes, due to inadvertent errors, the bank may provide you with a printed statement of your account, which has errors in figures or some entries/transaction details are missing from it.

letter to bank manager about wrong statement
Although, in this digital era, chances for these errors happening are very less. Nevertheless, if this happens then you should have it verified again with the bank official and have it corrected/reconciled to the actual transaction that had happened.


Either you can visit the bank's branch to discuss the issue with the concerned official for this or call him over the phone and explain the matter. If he says they will check it and have it corrected, then it is good enough and will save the trouble of going to the bank.

Sometimes, they may require a formal complaint letter from you in case the matter is a little complex and they are not able to track it immediately. Then you should submit a letter explaining the whole issue.

    Errors in bank statements are pretty rare. If we keep checking our bank statement through bank's mobile app, we can find the error soon and complain to banker at the earliest. Thanks for the format!

    Thanks. I have used this format and submitted the letter to bank. Hopefully they will correct soon. They have agreed to after talking over the matter.

  3. Banks errors have gone down substantially due to digitalisation of banking records. But errors do still happen. And the key is to lodge complaint immediately upon getting to know about the error.
