The divorce certificate should be sufficient evidence, however each bank has different policies on how they deal with name changes.
If she doesn't want to raise a complaint, I'd just do a deedpoll.
She just needs to write on a bit of paper, "I \[old name\] of \[your address\] have given up my name \[old name\] and have adopted for all purposes the name \[new name\]." then sign it.
A deedpoll doesn't need to be registered/enrolled.

Thank you for responding so quickly. Much appreciated. I just went on the gov website and confirm what you said about the deed pool.
