Pretty much no. Banks in the US are subject to Know Your Customer (KYC) laws that require them to collect a lot of personal information about you to uniquely identify you as an individual and tie you to past behavior and other entities you interact with. SSN is functionally a shortcut to most of this. Everybody has a unique one, and all the entities track you by it, so they can put those pieces together when and if necessary.
