Would my code be considered fairly optimal and efficient? If not, where can I look to improve the code? The program works just fine.

Would this method scale well if the dictionary containing the number of bank account increases?

Design: I have designed and kept only one object in main(). i.e. bank_1, contains a dictionary of information regarding multiple bank accounts. I have elected to only create the object bank_account inopen_bank_account() and check_bank_blanance() when needed and these objects disappear once the function is done.

Intention: The intention here is to use as few objects as possible in main().

Output: The program runs just fine; just enter 1, then enter 2, then enter 777 followed by 777. It will print the bank account balance of $1.00 of the account id 777.

class Bank_Account:
    def __init__(self, account_id, account_pin, account_balance):
        self._account_id = account_id
        self._account_pin = account_pin
        self._account_balance = account_balance
        self._individual_bank_account_dicitionary = {}
        self._individual_bank_account_dicitionary[account_id] = {"Pin": account_pin, "Balance": account_balance}

    def get_bank_account_balance(self, account_id):
        return "Balance: ${:.2f}".format(self._individual_bank_account_dicitionary[account_id]["Balance"])

    def __str__(self):
        return "{}".format(self._individual_bank_account_dicitionary)

class Bank:
    def __init__(self, bank_name):
        self._bank_name = bank_name
        self._bank_dicitionary = {}

    def update_bank_dictionary(self, bank_account):
        self._bank_dicitionary[bank_account._account_id] = {"Pin": bank_account._account_pin, "Balance": bank_account._account_balance}

    # 1. A method to return the dictionary of bank accounts of the object from class Bank.
    # 2. In this case, only bank_1 from main() is the object argument.      
    def get_bank_dictionary(self):
        return self._bank_dicitionary

    # 1. Method to create object bank_account only when needed.
    def get_bank_account(self, account_id):
        account_pin = self._bank_dicitionary[account_id]["Pin"]
        account_balance = self._bank_dicitionary[account_id]["Balance"]
        bank_account = Bank_Account(account_id, account_pin, account_balance)
        return bank_account

    # 1. This is used to convert the dictionary into a string for printing purposes.
    def string_bank_dictionary(self):
        string_list = ["account ID: {} \naccount Pin: {} \nBank Balance: {} \n".format(key, self._bank_dicitionary[key]["Pin"], self._bank_dicitionary[key]["Balance"])\

Would this method scale well if the dictionary containing the number of bank account increases?

Yes, I think so - dictionary access is fast, O(1) or "constant time".

Typo

check_bank_blanance should be check_bank_balance, or more likely check_balance.

_individual_bank_account_dicitionary should be _individual_bank_account_dictionary. That said - why does this dict exist at all? From what I see it only contains attributes that should be class members.

Method names

Just call get_bank_account_balance get_balance - or, if you make it a @property, simply balance.

str

return "{}".format(self._individual_bank_account_dicitionary)

should just be

return str(self._individual_bank_account_dictionary)

Class names

Bank_Account should just be named BankAccount.

Data exposure

The method get_bank_dictionary probably shouldn't exist. You're exposing data that should be dealt with by the class itself. This code:

    for key in temporary_dictionary.keys():
        if account_id == key and temporary_dictionary[account_id]["Pin"] == account_pin:

should exist in the Bank class, perhaps as get_account(). Also, don't loop through the dict to find a key - just do a dict lookup using [].
