Not seen that in Europe for a long time. In fact all four UK bank accounts I have use two-factor auth.

My UK bank account (Bank of Scotland) does not have two-factor auth, and there's no stated plans to implement it, as far as I can tell.

My RBS and Natwest accounts both have CAP devices:

Edit: apparently I don't need them any more.

HSBC does still require it though.

They used to offer 2 factor authentication to some personal account holders but they have removed that and it only appears to be available for business accounts:

That's news to me - not that I've logged into my accounts for a few months! :)
