    Any recent information on opening bank accounts without DNI?

    You can try the branches in Microcentro. They are more up to snuff and your chances are best there. Even at the same branch, two different employees will give you different answers. You just need to keep trying, but it is indeed possible to open bank accounts without being a legal resident.
