While I like the spirit of this thread of work-around suggestions, I can't help but think that using $RandomService to verify access to someone's bank account is a terrible idea.
It's bad enough having banks rely on a phone system where most carriers are perfectly happy to let anyone who knows your Address, DOB and Mother's Maiden name to port your phone number to a new SIM.
It probably requires less effort (and certainly less risk of discovery) to take over a Skype, Google Voice or other VOIP/SMS service.
