  Real banks have real security. Neither e-mail nor SMS count as real
security.

  We (in The Netherlands) have had hardware TOTP (Timed One Time
Passsword) generators since eons. Yes, we *also* have other means, but
anyone can still have and use the hardware TOTP device. So we only need
any computing device with a web-browser, the hardware TOTP device and
the bankcard which goes into its slot. No phone or phone number needed.

  Picture of an example of a hardware TOTP device:
