Asking for Workstation Equipment as a Summer Intern

Would it be well-perceived by my team and bank if I ask about workstation accommodation? Nothing special like 10 screens, more like different keyboard / chair / headset. Can’t bring my own - disapproved by the bank.

I’m afraid it will impact my return offer, even though the ask wouldn’t be crazy and the setup costs ~200usd

obviously not, nobody is going to care and will just want your work to be the best it can be. never heard of someone calling it "workstation equipment" before lol.
