When logging into online banking in a browser, you can verify the login with a code sent by text message to your available phone numbers
or select receive a call and enter the screen code into the phone.
When online shopping making a payment, you get the option of text message to one of your (mobile) numbers for SCA.
When setting up a new payee in online banking, you only get the option of a call. Admittedly this was introduced years ago.

Can anyone guess what the security risk is were the above banks don't trust SMS for some payments but other banks will?
