Has Anybody Been Able To Change His Account Name With Bank? How Did You Do It? by Lovelynature(m): 11:05pm On Mar 02, 2016
I've tried to change the surname I used to register my bank account for some reasons, but the bank is demanding these from me:

Affidavit
Newspaper Publication
And letter to the manager

But my fear is that I don't know if the BVN name can also be changed as I read somewhere that CBN ordered banks to stop change of name.

I don't want to try anything that may affect my money or create issue in my bank account. Please has anyone changed his account name with the bank. How did you go about it?

Please don't just view, your advice is needed.

Opening a new account doesn't solve the problem cos ur bvn will have to linked and the details won't match.

Yea, you can do it, all you need is, A court affidavit as to change of name, news paper publication as to that change of name, and write to the manager applying for change of signatory name. All documents remain valid coz you are backed by the affidavit.

Very certain you can do it, my wife just did hers last week at GTBank h/office.
You can change your BVN name as well, CBN never said Bank should stop the change of name.

The bank told you what to do. Do it!
If you're worried, why not ask the bank this question you asked here. The bank will answer all your questions about your account better NOT here on Nairaland!

Some people make things hard for themselves.

Wow! This is great.

Did you go with affidavit alone or newspaper publication and a valid id card bearing the new surname? Because they demand these from me. I went with only affidavit but they refused.
