Don't remember that but I doubt very much that the bank didn't keep a record of who physically opened an account. I've opened bank accounts in my kids names when they were born but I'm still on the records.
All you had to do was give them a name and address - it quite clearly didn’t have to be one’s own.
Big scandal in town 20 odd years ago when someone well known to the manager was lodging and withdrawing relatively large sums of money to an account that didn’t bear his name. TSB Pana if memory serves. Seems he had a number of accounts there
