Isn't that only a requirement on interst-bearing, or potentially interest-bearing, accounts?

Yes, but the account form will have a place for it anyway and the account opening person will demand it. My experience a few years ago was that I had to go to an officer and point out that the account was not interest bearing and so the SS# was not required in order to get the account opened without it.
