Bank reference letters: clarify the recipient requirement

Coordination of a bank reference letter request; issuance remains with the bank.

Understanding the service

We coordinate a bank-reference request using the account and organisation records. The bank decides whether to issue the letter and what it states.

Get the requested wording and purpose

Ask the recipient what information is needed and whether a specific format is required. Confirm the account holder legal name and bank relationship. A general reference letter is different from a solvency certificate, credit rating or guarantee.

Let the bank control its statement

Provide accurate organisation and account records through authorised channels. The bank decides whether to issue a letter and what it can state. Keep the issued version and disclose only the information necessary for the recipient purpose.

Preparation checklist

Use this as a starting file, not a universal eligibility decision. ACS confirms the final checklist against your actual entity, activity and reporting period.

  • Applicant or entity identification
  • Existing registration records, if applicable
  • Address and authorised signatory details
  • Service-specific documents confirmed after review

Keep originals and final versions distinguishable. Record missing information before submission and use the agreed private channel for sensitive evidence.

From enquiry to agreed work

  1. Share the requirement and relevant reporting period.
  2. ACS reviews the records and confirms the scope and charges.
