• The endorsement on the Company Letter is done by the bank where the company or employer holds its corporate account(s). This endorsement may be done in 3 (three) different ways:

- Verified signature bank chop: The Company Letter should be signed by the company's employee who is registered at the bank. The bank will then chop the letter and attest that the signature on it matches the signature on its files; or

In it, the bank will attest to the fact that the requesting customer has banked with the institution and holds a satisfactory credit history. If using this option, the Company Letter should be presented to the Consulate without a bank chop, but coupled with the bank endorsement letter; or
