My point is and always was about US government rules forcing foreign banks in third countries to check for US citizenship and residency specifically. Otherwise citizenship checks have always been a thing everywhere. But in order to comply with the US rules, banks have to maintain a separate documented US FATCA section altogether in their enrollment process, even if they are in some unrelated third country.
