I like how the ones in my country work, when you want to send money you have to sign the transfer with the 2fa app, and the 2fa app itself will display how much money you are transferring, preventing an mitm from displaying one amount but actually sending another. However the recipient is not displayed. So a mitm could modify a legitimate transfer to have another recipient, stealing the $100 destined for your utility bill. But at least that is not a catastrophic loss.

For transfers, Smart ID displays both recipient and amount. So that part can’t be easily MITM’d.
