No.

However, here are a few ideas that may interest you:

1. Close all accounts with numbers.
2. Obtain an ID without a number, such as a passport or international driver's license.
3. Reopen the accounts with the ID that has no number assigned to it and using the W-8BEN AMENDED form:
http://sedm.org/Forms/Tax/W-8BEN/AboutIRSFormW-8BEN.htm
or Affidavit of Citizenship, Domicile,and Tax Status form, Form #02.001:
http://sedm.org/Forms/FormIndex.htm

In practice, we have found that banks will not remove a number from an existing account, but they are more than willing to open a NEW accoung without an SSN, even AFTER the Patriot Act. There is not regulation requiring disclosure of SSN's and there can't be. See form 05.012:
http://sedm.org/Forms/FormIndex.htm

If you give a foreign address, an ID without an SSN associated with it, and/or the above forms and tell them you never have had and don't want an SSN, we haven't found a bank yet that won't open a non-interest bearing checking account for you. Don't waste your time trying to convince banks to take the number off an EXISTING account. Instead, close the account and demand all your money back. Tell them exactly why you are doing it, and then go to another back and open an account using the procedures above.

If the bank gives you a bad time about numbers, go to a smaller bank. Smaller banks are usually a lot more flexible and accommodating. Big banks abuse their monopolistic corporate market power to jerk the little guy around. Don't waste your time on big banks that treat you like a number. Don't talk to the clerk. Insist on sitting with the bank manager and patiently but firmly educate him about the law, and go stomping out if he won't listen. If enough people do this, you will see changes. Picket the place too and tell the manager exactly why you are doing it. Use form 05.013 and demand that he rebut the evidence of his own wrongdoing at the end:

Food for thought.

Or maybe you should look into:

Another idea....try banks near large group of Amish people.

Since they don't have SSNs, banks usually make exceptions for them.

Does anyone here have an LLC?

Yes. The bank will require your personal information but the bank tracks via the LLC's EIN... and not your SS#.

A friend of mine just told me that he walked in to a Wells Fargo Bank and opened an account without giving them a SS number.
