Disappointingly, my (former) bank, insurance, and broker companies only supported "2"FA via SMS, which is even worse--in my opinion--than not supporting anything at all because it gives a false sense of security. My bank and my mobile phone provider would both allow me to completely reset my credentials using solely a verification via SMS, so anyone who hijacked my phone number could steal from me.
Even more obnoxiously, lots of businesses don't accept "VoIP" SMS numbers because they are deemed "insecure," even though my VoIP numbers are hardened behind much better account security than anything my mobile provider offers.
