The banks’ first line of defense is to turn on airtight screening mechanism to select new customer. They enact stringent Know-Your-Customers policy (KYC) to their customers, when the customers cannot 100% satisfy it, they directly reject these uncertain application of account opening.
Some banks extends this policy further that they simply ban certain nationality and business activities from account opening.
