Still SMS confirmation, really? – BBVA Spain | Online banking Review

The app is good and works great. So I won't give too many details. Anyway, if you are a BBVA customer, that is the one that have. I am surprised however to see that SMS messages are still used for two factor authentication and operation confirmation. My other two banks have issued auxiliary apps that provide secure confirmation. It is cheaper for the bank (yes companies that send massive amounts of texts still pay the carrier) and less annoying for customers. Also avoids charges when roaming
