there are costs involved in opening and maintaining these accounts. Even if they lie dormant for years because the tourist did not return, they will still incur a cost for the bank. Does not make business sense for the bank especially if it has a minimal amount in the account.

money laundering will be rampant if anyone is allowed to open a bank account.

It's simple. Ask yourself if your home country allows tourists to open bank accounts.

Did you use the actual App or website? Some websites could be a fake site set up by scammers.
