Banks are skirting the law by letting Illegals use I-9 forms and a matricula consular card to establish a bank account. They should only accept an SSN. If a U.S citizen wants to open a bank account, they will not let you without a valid SSN.... http://www.cis.org/articles/2002/back1202.html

Matricula Card! No wonder their all named Jose Lopez!
It ain't fair instead of keeping they're boot on our necks they should be "TAKING THE LAW TO THE LAWLESS!" I believe Judge Dredd said that.

There is no requirement for U.S. citizens to provide a SSN to open a bank account. The law only requires that the bank request a TIN. This is covered by 31 CFR 103.34. If a SSN were required to open a bank account the U.S. economy would collapse. Corporations would be prohibited from opening bank accounts. Foreigners who presently have U.S. bank accounts would withdraw trillions of dollars. Foreign nations with gold on deposit at the Federal Reserve Bank of New York would be required to move it to another country.

Artclam... what I should have said Is there are many banks that will not let you open an account without an SSN... The ITIN Is a number that Is used by banks to legitimize opening accounts for people Illegally In the country.
How to Open a Bank Account With No Social Security Number


To open a bank account without a social security number, a person must obtain an Individual Taxpayer Identification Number (ITIN) from the government. Under federal regulations, this form of identification may be accepted by banks as a legitimate identifier for prospective customers without a social security number. Typically, banks prefer social security numbers. The reason banks need to officially verify the identity of a prospective customer is because they have a legal duty to prevent money laundering and fraud. They also must file 1099 tax forms with the IRS, disclosing any interest they have paid to their customers. A U.S. Treasury Department regulation states that banks may accept ITINs instead of social security numbers. Typically, people without social security numbers are (Illegal) immigrants. Although having an ITIN does not change an immigrant's legal status, it does allow the IRS to collect taxes from those eligible to work.
