Is opening an account the same as activating a social security card?

Social security card account opening and activation are not the same meaning.

Activation is card opening. When I got the social security card, the social security card was not activated. To activate, you need to bring your ID card and bank card to the issuing bank to confirm the activation. When you activate, you must press your handprint, and you cannot activate the social security card on your behalf. Opening an account refers to the behavior of investors, including individuals or units, establishing business relationships such as savings and credit with banks and opening securities accounts and capital accounts.
