This problem/market is very interesting and strange to me. In my country, you're able to open a bank account in 15 minutes, the only requirement is to have a parent present if you're under 15, of course you have to present your identity, and you have to deposit just 200 to 1000 CZK (7.5 to 50 dollars, or 5 to ±30 beers). No credit checks, no solvency requirements, no debt-free only policy, nothing like that, you literally walk out with a working bank account (and a debit card will arrive by mail shortly after) that is completely free for everyone and for all use cases that an average person has.

Bank accounts are treated as marketing for other financial services so you will even get free money if you open it in a bank that currently has a promotion (usually around 200 to 500 CZK - 7.5 to 20 dollars, or 5 to 12 beers).
