I did not have this on my radar, sadly. On the one hand, I somewhat was there via livestream which make me happy but on the other hand I am so sad that I missed it.

My EU bank never ever used my phone number to verify anything. They only used it to contact me on some occasions. 2FA is done through their app.

Personally, I find the wording “We value your privacy” even better. It carries more connection to money.
