Bank accounts aren't given out based on you needing one; they're given based on the bank wanting you.

Homeless people don't meet some of the expectations for what banks want in a person - an address

Bank accounts for homeless people can be done, in Britain probably after 'encouragement' from the government (do this your way or we'll force you to do it our way...).
