  It's similar in The Netherlands, at least for my banks and other banks
I know of. But SMS and automated call are (AFAIK) not used. Just a
bank-specific hardware TOTP device (uses your bank card as one of the
factors) or TOTP in their apps. I use the TOTP devices, because it's not
much of a bother and more secure.
