That's actually horrible. The immediate impact is that someone who is the victim of fraud is then stigmatized and systematically denied access to financial service. The knock-on impact is even worse, though, as it means there is a strong consumer disincentive now to report fraud at all. People would refrain from reporting identity theft so as to preserve access to their digital lives. At scale, this would effectively leave consumers without practical recourse to fraud, meaning that having your identity stolen in 2002 might mean you don't get a mortgage in 2042. I sure hope the hammer falls on Google here.
