Wow. In the UK as far as i'm aware no bank uses auth codes over txt, we have a physical devices to generate one time codes for identification or transaction signing using chip and pin.
Most people here are aware txt messaging is not secure, it's enough of an issue for email hijacking, I'm very surprised banks are using it in US.
