I love bank shops!
When doing an account open, have your ID and cash to fund the account.
Personally, I never use my SSN on shops, including bank shops, so I have three or four forms of ID to open the account.
If I open a savings account, I fund it with the minimum required to avoid the fees, and I keep it open to do other shops. I had one account open for six months. I closed it because I wanted to use that money to fund another account opening shop.
If I open a checking account, I bring the minimum amount of cash to open the account ($25-50). I ask how long before the fees hit. It's usually 60-90 days. That's how long I keep the account open. I do other shops for that bank in the meantime, and I avoid the maintenance fees for the account.
For the account open shops that I do, the narratives aren't bad at all. One MSC just requires that you upload paperwork.
Read the guidelines to see if you have to sing up for anything: overdraft, debit card, online banking, opt out, etc. If you don't have to sign up for anything, don't, unless you plan on keeping the account.
I have nothing bad to say about bank shops, whether they are inquiry, audits or openings.
