Anytime as long as you have a relationship or some type of account with them, a bank will normally do what is call a soft pull which doesn't affect your score and will only do a hard pull if you initiate it by requesting to open another account with them, or asking for a credit line increase or a new line of credit.

How many times can a bank pull your credit report without lowering your credit score?
If they don't pull a full report and only do a soft inquiry then it doesn't ever hurt. If you are however, applying for credit at the bank and they do a "hard inquiry" where they view your full report then it only takes one time. If you are going around in a short length of time and having banks pull your credit for the purpose of a home or car loan then usually the credit report agencies count this as one inquiry because it's quite reasonable to shop around.
