The Cheque Book Request Letter Authorization is a fundamental banking document used in Nigerian financial operations when an account holder needs to obtain a new cheque book. This document is essential for maintaining proper documentation and security in banking transactions, as required by Nigerian banking regulations and the Central Bank of Nigeria guidelines. It is used when existing cheque books are nearly exhausted, for new accounts requiring cheque books, or when replacement is needed due to loss or damage. The letter must include specific account details, authorization for the bank to issue the cheque book and debit any associated charges, and proper signatures as per the account mandate. For corporate accounts, additional requirements such as board resolutions may be necessary. The document ensures compliance with banking procedures while providing a clear audit trail for both the bank and the account holder.
