Homeless people are often unbanked, and it's very difficult to open a new account without a credit score and permanent address.
Recent immigrants have difficulty opening accounts for a similar reason - only US credit counts. Political activists are also often denied accounts out of an abundance of caution on the bank's part, e.g. with the Occupy Wall St protests.
