If someone allows someone else to use their identity they deserve what they get. What a dumb thing to do. What a tangled web we weave when we practice to deceive.

No it isn’t identity theft, but it would be a case of willfully impersonating another person. Don’t do it buddy, and whatever you do, don’t share a bank account with anyone, unless you are married or are doing so with your children (i.e. a joint account). Please do not risk jail time over this nonsense.

I wouldn’t do it. What happens later on down the road if you and this person get into a fight?

Let’s see, you’re John Smith and you have Bob Jones’ permission to use his name to open up an account in Jones’ name that you intend to use. That’s fraud. . ., both you and Jones get to share a cell instead of a bank account.

It’s forgery.
Get the other person to give you power of attorney, then open the account in their name.

No, this is credit fraud.

It’s called Fraud and Criminal Impersonation…..If these crimes are commited in a banking institution you will be prosecuted under Federal Law.
