Why does a bank need you to have an account to change a $100 worth of loonies to a $100 bill ?
Why does a hotel need to know your name when you check in and prepay your stay?

Bank wants you to have an account because exchanging bills for different change is a service and they want compensation for that (i.e. membership fees).

As i understand it hotels need to keep accurate records of guests for insurance/security reasons.

My argument was not against providing personal information to a LFS, it was for HAVING to provide that information to a LFS.
