THe company's security said we impersonated him so had to go to bank to verify his name and photo ID and the bank called them in person. My husband said he was sorry we did it this way but he was unavailable to speak on phone at that time and was a bad choice to do it that way
Can they press charges for this?

No, don't lose any sleep over it. When my ex was in the military we had to do that all the time, me and every other military wife!
They just were letting you know that they found out and not to try it again. Bad girl, hold out your hand and get it slapped. There, now stop worrying.
Here's my cc story- some asshole copped my id and charged over $3000 in stolen merchandise. The cc company's answer?
Not enough money to waste our time on! You think they're going to bother with this???? naaaa-

would it be easier next time and in fact a all times have a power of attorney signed by your husband and all that good stuff so that IF he is not available next time you do in fact have a legal documents to hand saying you have his FULL permission to do this sort of stuff.
Not sure if you are a military wife BUT you will find that pretty much everyone of us has one of those and keeps it up to date as we NEVER know when or where he will be if needed.
I also have one of those for my son as he is currently serving abroad and I have had to a few minor things for him regarding his bank stuff and car.........
Regards and hopefully you can get this sorted out as the real error / not on purpose act this seems to be

The bank likely won't press any charges, since your dh has been identified and given his consent.
Spouses are doing this all the time, and the banks must realize it.... they were just checking up on things to be sure that their A**** were covered.

ABSOLUTELY! You committed both Fraud and Forgery. And forgery is forgery. Whether you have someone's "permission" or not, you still cannot forge another person's name. I'd seriously consider consulting an attorney. There are some who will not charge you for an initial consultation.

I sign my wifes name all the time and she signs mine. If it's done with permission and without the intent to defraud, you have no problem.

No, you didn't break any laws. You had his permission. Your company's policy may be different, but if they try to make a big deal of this, I'd fight it. You did NOTHING wrong.

No.
The word you are looking for is 'forgery' not impersonate. Now, since you had your husband's consent you did not violate any laws, no charges can be filed.

They might if you have debt that you can't pay, otherwise they will probably just close the account.
