Here is one way you could iterate through the controls

Solution

Object.keys(this.bankForm.controls).forEach((control: string) => {
    const typedControl: AbstractControl = this.bankForm.controls[control];
    console.log(typedControl) 
    // should log the form controls value and be typed correctly
});

This is because the Object.keys();returns an array of the the key values which you can then iterate over using the the forEach(); array method.

Documentation

forEach() method. / Object.keys method. / Angular Form Controls.

Edit

control will always be a string coming from the forEach();, so what I would do is try declaring something new below of the correct type. See above. That makes my IDE recognise it's a form control so will hopefully meet your tsconfig.
