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.
