Banks issued ID cards in Sweden for decades. Source: I worked as a teller and knew the procedure.

Passports only became legal IDs in the last decade or so.

Even then you usually needed a letter proving your identity (personbevis) from the government, right? So the bank was not the arbiter of "who was who", but issued the ID cards.

Correct, but banks were responsible for devising security features etc.
