banking doesn't work on just web browsers anymore on most of the world's banks. i WISH.

Huh, they still work for all my banks here in the US. Not sure how you're supposed to access your bank account on your PC otherwise. Some banks you'll have to use the "use Desktop version of the site" option in a mobile browser to get it to work, but it will still work.

Huh, we still almost always have SMS as a validation method for 2FA here, so any SMS to web method works.
