You could ask them to list your last 3 transactions, and their exact amounts. Easy to cross-reference by looking at your banking website / app.

If you have malware, they can be looking at the same numbers you’re looking at, so that isn’t fool-proof. If your account is already compromised, they may just be phishing for 2fa tokens to initiate some kind of account change, like the kind that would complete their total account takeover, at least until you or the bank notices suspicious activity.
