I can't ever recall a bank having an opt-in box on a form. They 
sometimes don't even have an opt-out box, but instead say that if you 
don't want to be spammed you must contact them separately.

Anyway banks are to arrogant to bother about data protection of plebs 
and the regulator can't be bothered to regulate them. Government has 
recently mortgaged out grandchildren's future in order to bail out the 
banks from their own stupidity, stupidity which was known about before 
the sky fell in (despite the claims of many to the contrary).
