local banks are on the planning stage of strong two factor authentication to address this issue aside from customer education which is really hard to do

In the states many of the banks are now issuing “tokens” that generate a unique PIN that is required to complete online transfers. SMS may be a cost effective and efficient way to implement a similar system however if an hacker gets into an account and has the ability to modify the mobile number of record that would defeat the purpose. Tokens may be the best option for now.

A little bit off subject.
To access my account online with my computer I got here a PIN code which is always the same (which is dangerous) in case someone is spying on me.
Most Belgian banks give you a little calculator were you put your PIN number. That calculator generates a new code each time you want to log in your account.
Much safer.

I liked the last one, SMS notice of the email. At least it’s not another spam text.
