What do you do if your wife opened a bank account in your name?

Technically speaking, the wife cannot open a bank account in your name without your signature. Either she needs your signature or she needs a power of attorney from you which gives her the legal right to act on her behalf. If she opened the account after a legal power of attorney, you cannot do anything. If she opened an account without that, then you can try to talk to your wife and try to settle things amicably. Else, you can register a formal complaint with both the bank and the police about forgery.

If she was not on the account the bank should not have done any of this in the first place. You should check with your bank and as well as speak with a lawyer to see where you go from here.
