According to the SSNVS service information, you are supposed to only use this information for correctly completing IRS W-2.
Verifying the SSN using that service for banking (as I'm reading it) is a clear violation of the system.

If you were using a different service I'd be interested, as we are always looking for new ways to do validation of accounts.

It didn't validate a "good" SSN, but rather filtered out bad ones. http://www.ssa.gov/ http://www.ssa.gov/ and http://www.socialsecurity.gov http://www.socialsecurity.gov both have a lot of useful information about structure and allocation of SSNs if you are looking to do something similar.
