The acquiring banks need this information to do a mandatory KYC-check (Know Your Customer/Client) to identify and verify your identity when you’re opening an account with them. This is done to prevent money laundering and financial crime. If you fail to meet the banks KYC requirements or refuse to answer their questions they can refuse your application.
