one of the things that stopped my quest to eliminate my phone plan was my bank requiring that i use a cell number for 2fa login, and necessitating 2fa across their platform.
everything else was manageable, and i did enjoy the lack of phone connectivity, but there was no good solution to my banking problem at the time.

I'm still baffled that most Korean banks and government authentication still rely on/allow 2fa through cell phone message... One would expect at least them to follow proper security protocols.

Leave the EU.
Seriously, this kind of thing (banks hard-requiring you have a cell phone, with no alternative options) is very common there, and basically unheard-of in the US. Of course all of our banks have apps, but I've never heard of a bank that required it.
