Both my banks do (European banks, specifically Rabo and ABN/AMRO). These are still not immune to phishing attacks but it's a lot better than TAN codes or some other 'dumb' authentication scheme. Typically these systems work in conjunction with pin-and-chip card, a small piece of hardware that generates the codes and a challenge / response system built into the website you use for the authorization. Separate challenges exist for logging in (read access) and transferring money. |

Another cool thing I've seen in Banco do Brasil was the need to authorize the computer you're going to use in a ATM or in a 1-800. If I recall correctly, they do that with a Java applet.
Recently they also launched a common-malware-search-and-destroy application of MANDATORY use in Windows computers (my mom uses, she asked me. And yes, the digital certificates were all valid).
