Avri, and all sgb members,

  I believe the answer to your ? is yes.  However many banks and
financial institutions want as much information about any registrant
as they can get and are not overly concerned as to how they get it.
Many banks and financial institutions are of the somewhat misguided
opinion because of the very nature of their business they can better
protect any individuals identity better than that individual can do
his or herself.  I personally have never seen any bank or financial
institution offer any financial guarantee to do so without many
exceptions.
