How to transfer salary to another bank after I signed an MoU to buy a property on mortgage?

Hi,

I have recently signed an MoU to buy a property and a bank has offered me a good loan package so I want to sign with them.

Therefore, I have asked my employer to produce a Salary Transfer Letter (STL) to be able to sign my loan with this bank.

Just to clarify, I have no loan with any bank, I just have a credit card with my current bank (never had any issue on it). To produce the STL my employer needs a non-objection letter (NOL) from my bank or a No Liability Letter (NLL).

My current bank said the first option is impossible as "they do not have a template for that" and they can only produce a non-liability letter (NLL), however, this is not possible as it takes 45 days after card's cancellation to get the NLL.

My question is: Does my employer really need a NOL or NLL to be able to transfer my salary to another bank? (He never signed anything with my bank).

Employer says there is a tacit agreement between employer and bank when the salary gets transfered to the bank, is that true?

Hello,

Please note that as per your query, you should speak with the mortgage bank to attach your salary account with the loan account if the employer is not co-operating.

Also, please speak with the existing salary account bank to know what are the formalities to transfer your salary to the loan account.
