My bank in the UK has two separate things - a password, which I have to enter in the whole, and a "memorable word" which acts as you suggest. I've not seen a bank account which solely uses a memorable word.

Santander uses selected digits of PIN and selected characters of password, with a numeric user ID.

In fairness to them, they do use 2FA for anything involving moving money around.

Ouch, yeah, Santander. Worst bank in the UK. Everyone I know who uses them has had some really terrible experiences.
