Horrible idea to have them tied to banking. National digital ID systems should be exactly that, national. Separated from commercial dealings. Maybe able to be optionally linked and leveraged in commercial contracts etc. However one shouldn’t need to have a bank account to have an ID. Or any other commercial account for that matter. Have the national census bureau or police run the ID system.
