An organization’s employer writes a letter of confirmation of employment for the bank on behalf of an employee seeking a loan. The employee presents this letter, issued by the employer, to the bank to ensure that he is currently employed and has a constant source of income.
As lenders, this confirmation of employment letter is often a requirement of different banks when lending money to employees. The banks seek this letter for various reasons, such as:
- The bank requires proof of the borrower’s employment status and the source of their income.
- Suppose the employer is issuing a letter to its employee. In that case, it means that the employee is unlikely to face any financial issues in the future regarding repayment of the bank’s money.
- The bank wants to minimize the chances of default by ensuring the person can repay the loan and interest.
Many templates are available online and in programs like Microsoft Word, which can be customized to suit the requirements of the employee, employer, and bank for writing this letter. Otherwise, the HR department can prepare the template itself. The information and the details included in this letter may vary, but the general format consists of the following:
- Date.
- Details of the employer.
- Details of the employee.
- Employment status and income figures of the employee.
- Reinforcement of the employee’s character.
- Reinforcement of the employee’s job security and the importance of their role in the organization.
- Signature.
This letter holds significant importance, as the bank may use it as a basis to determine whether to grant a loan to a specific employee. Sometimes, if the bank is unsatisfied with the details in this letter, it may simply reject the loan request even if the employee fulfills all the other criteria. This means that due attention must be given when preparing this letter.
This document serves as evidence of the employee’s job and income status and is maintained in the employer’s and borrower’s files, which are held by the bank.
