"....if they meet the identification requirements set out in the Bank Act."

Not sure I see a difference?

Identification does not require a fixed address, and it's not like the UK "no fixed address bank account" discussed in the original article can be opened without a proper ID.

Understood, but the challenge of getting documentation for ID can be as significant as having a permanent address.
