Uh many banks provide MFA. And secure with hardware keys. It’s just that your level of assets doesn’t warrant that kind of protection.

Source: worked at all the major banks, all the wealthy clients use hardware MFA

They’re a bank. If they can secure their portals with hardware keys, at least allow customers to onboard their own keys.

My bank gave me an hardware token to protect my 5k€ account.

Get better banks people :)

The bank I used in The Netherlands provides a MFA device as well. The device requires an ATM card as well to generate a random number.

This is the default for all their customers, wealthy or not.
