Do Banks Verify Your SAT Score During Background Check?

I've noticed a few banks asking for SAT scores on applications, and I've heard of some actually ask in interviews too. Got me wondering, do they even verify something like that during a background check? Like, are they going to literally call up the College Board or have you log in and send a score card or something? 

For those wondering, no I didn't lie on my apps or anything. Went test optional into college.

Rerum earum ipsa dolores aut. Unde quasi neque qui magni eos aspernatur. Hic perspiciatis sed alias eum molestiae. Eos magni aspernatur qui totam.

Optio reiciendis ut accusamus sequi. A repellendus rerum nisi asperiores omnis. Repellendus ipsam ut cumque ea. Non laboriosam eveniet eos cumque consequuntur perspiciatis ipsa. Eaque ut aut repellat quasi tenetur rerum ipsam voluptate. Rerum voluptas laudantium commodi pariatur sed. Qui perferendis iusto possimus.
