They are talking about new accounts in the customers name. The banker isn't stealing the money for themselves. The bankers are doing it to meet quotas

But isn't the employee still committing a felony, like some sort of fraud? Shouldn't they all go to jail, or at least pay large fines?

not keeping the money but taking it for the sole reason of financial gain (bonus tied to quotas) is close enough, it seems to me, to "stealing money for themselves"
