Hi Ranjeet,
You should ask this question to the person who has information about bank details but not process them.
Yes bank account is related with payment transactions. If you want you can make this field mandatory in customizing;
SPRO-Financial Accounting-Accounts Receivable and Accounts Payable-Customer Accounts-Master Data-Preparations for Creating Customer Master Data-Define Account Groups with Screen Layout (Customers) or Define Screen Layout per Company Code (Customers) or Define Screen Layout per Activity (Customers)
You can also set message F2813 (Enter an account holder) as error in customizing;
