The problem is using bank account for anything else than managing and transferring money. Confirming identity is a "convenience" no one asked for. Government services have their own authentication. Bank shouldn't know where and when you are accessing any other services, they _will_ use it for profiling or could even escalate into some KYC enquiry. Government should know only your IBAN. Connecting these dots for various service providers will never work in your favor.
