Exclusive | Trump Administration Considers Requiring Banks to Collect Citizenship Information - WSJ

Banks in the U.S. are required to collect certain information under “know your customers” rules to guard against money laundering and crime. That often includes collecting passports and Social Security numbers. But those rules don’t include gathering citizenship status specifically, and banks don’t routinely share that information with the government. There is no prohibition on banks opening accounts for noncitizens in the U.S.

More totally normal behavior.
