Yes, a US national can open a bank account with out Social Security Number (SSN).
A bank cannot refuse your request for bank account if you are unable to present SSN. If some bank still insist for SSN than you can consult to some consumer court.
I have linked some more information in "Related Links" regarding the opening of bank account without SSN.

Can you open an account with a bank if you have had a charge off with a past account?
Typically no, once your account gets to the point of charged off, it has been overdrawn for roughly 45 days (give or take). Your name and SSN then get reported to ChexSystems which then notifies every bank of your charged off account. Not many banks want to risk losing their money to you if you've already lost money for another bank. Your best chance to get an account is to go back to the bank your account was charged off, explain what happened, and hope for the best. And next time balance your checkbook... daily.
Can you open a Business checking account online when you just opened business and has bad personal credit?
Technically, checking accounts do not rely on whether you have bad credit or not- the only thing that would stand in the way of opening a checking account is if you are registered in Chex Systems, which is a when a bank reports that your account becomes overdrawn and it remains in that state for an extended period of time. You just need to go into the bank (or website if you want to open up an account in an online bank) and apply. Just make sure that you use both your SSN and EIN while applying for business accounts.
